Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who appreciate the quirks of a big air-cooled V-twin with shaft drive and old-school handling traits.
Purpose	Built for high-speed sport touring, eating up highway miles with strong top-end performance and stable, long-legged cruising ability.
Rider Fit	A substantial, torque-heavy machine that rewards deliberate inputs and demands reasonable rider strength for low-speed maneuvering and tight turns.
Character	A charismatic, mechanically raw Italian classic with a distinctive transverse V2 growl and shaft-drive shove that feels analog and engaging.
Not Ideal For	Not for beginners seeking light, nimble city commuting or for anyone wanting modern electronics and off-road capability.
