Best ForSuited to riders with some experience who appreciate a characterful, lightweight V-twin rather than raw power.
PurposeA nimble, air-cooled sport-standard built for spirited backroad riding rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts light weight of around 172 kg and compact dimensions make it easy to manage for riders of average build and experience.
CharacterAn engaging, mechanically charming machine with a distinctive V2 exhaust note and old-school analog feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking modern power, plush touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.
