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