Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with some prior experience who appreciate a small, characterful V2 rather than outright performance.
PurposeBest suited to spirited backroad rides, commuting, and classic-bike enjoyment rather than high-speed touring or racing.
Rider FitIts light weight of around 156 kg and low seat height make it manageable for riders of average or smaller stature.
CharacterA charming, revvy air-cooled V-twin with a 6-speed gearbox that rewards riding it at moderate speeds with enthusiasm.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting high top speed, long-distance comfort, or any off-road capability.
