Rider Profile
| Best For | This is best suited to an experienced rider who appreciates a characterful, torquey V-twin over outright sportbike aggression. |
| Purpose | Built as a muscular naked roadster, it excels at spirited street riding and boulevard presence rather than track lap times. |
| Rider Fit | At 222 kg with an 800 mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable height and strength to manage its heft at low speed and standstill. |
| Character | The shaft-driven, air/oil-cooled transverse V-twin gives it a raw, mechanical, old-school Italian personality full of torque and shaft-drive quirks like driveline lurch under throttle. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable machine or one that can handle any unpaved or off-road terrain. |
