Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-capacity V-twin suits riders comfortable with a classic, modest-power machine rather than newcomers seeking hand-holding electronics.
PurposeIt's best suited to relaxed backroad riding and light commuting rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts light weight of around 160 kg and low-slung classic build make it manageable for riders of most sizes and experience levels.
CharacterThe 3 1/2 VS has old-school Italian charm, with a torquey air-cooled V2 engine and nimble, lightweight handling typical of 1980s sport-standards.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting high-speed touring, off-road capability, or modern performance and comfort features.
