Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who appreciate classic V-twin character and shaft-drive quirks over modern refinement.
Purpose	Built for confident sport touring, eating up highway miles and sweeping curves with a torquey, air-cooled V2 engine.
Rider Fit	A substantial, heavy-feeling machine that rewards deliberate, strong inputs rather than light flicks, so some rider strength and confidence at speed help.
Character	An old-school Italian sport tourer with raw mechanical charm, shaft-drive shaft-shaft feel, and a distinctive transverse V-twin growl.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking nimble city commuting, off-road capability, or modern electronic rider aids.
