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