Rider Profile
| Best For | This naked bike suits intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a torquey big-bore V-twin and sharp, quick-turning chassis. |
| Purpose | Built for spirited road riding and aggressive cornering rather than commuting comfort or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | A moderate 800 mm seat height and 198 kg dry weight make it manageable for most riders, though the firm sporty ergonomics demand decent core strength on longer rides. |
| Character | It has the raw, characterful feel of an Italian V-twin, with strong torque delivery, exotic engineering details like Termignoni exhausts and Brembo brakes, and an emphasis on rider engagement over refinement. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for off-road riders, passengers seeking plush comfort, or those wanting a relaxed, wind-protected touring machine. |
