Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, heavy-feeling V-twin and shaft-drive handling characteristics. |
| Purpose | It's built for spirited sport-touring and long-distance road riding rather than outright track performance or commuting. |
| Rider Fit | The 790mm seat height and 224kg dry weight demand a rider with reasonable strength and confidence at low speeds. |
| Character | It has a distinctive, torque-rich Italian character with strong midrange pull and a raw mechanical feel typical of a big air-cooled V-twin. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not suited to off-road use, novice riders, or anyone seeking a lightweight, flickable city runabout. |
