| Purpose | Built for confident, high-speed sport touring on open roads rather than commuting or track work. |
| Rider Fit | The 247kg air-cooled shaft-drive machine demands solid physical presence and deliberate handling at low speeds. |
| Character | A raw, mechanical, torque-driven Italian sport tourer with a distinct shaft-drive V2 personality and old-school analog feel. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for riders seeking modern electronics, light agile handling, or off-road capability. |
