Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who can manage a tall, torquey, shaft-driven V-twin with distinctive handling traits.
PurposeDesigned as a muscular Italian naked bike that blends bold styling and V-twin character with real-world usability rather than outright track performance.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height combined with a substantial 227kg dry weight means shorter or less physically confident riders may find low-speed maneuvers and parking a bit demanding.
CharacterHas a strong personality defined by its transverse V2 engine, shaft final drive torque reaction, and single-sided swingarm styling that reward riders who enjoy mechanical feel over clinical smoothness.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp sportbike agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, beginner-friendly first motorcycle.
