Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a heavy, torque-driven classic V-twin and its shaft-drive handling characteristics. |
| Purpose | Built as a fast, long-legged sport tourer for covering serious distance at speed on open roads rather than for stunts or commuting. |
| Rider Fit | Its 243kg mass and low, sporty bars demand a fit rider with decent upper body strength and confidence in low-speed maneuvering. |
| Character | An iconic, charismatic Italian V-twin with a mechanical, unmistakable engine feel and shaft-drive shaft-shunt personality that rewards smooth riding. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, nimble bike for tight city streets. |
