Rider Profile

Best ForSuits newer or returning riders who want a light, uncomplicated single-cylinder machine that is easy to manage at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a simple, versatile allround roadster for commuting and light everyday riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low 157 kg weight and modest seat height make it accessible to riders of smaller stature or those wanting a manageable, non-intimidating bike.
CharacterA charmingly basic air-cooled single with a thumping character, modest power, and honest, old-school mechanical feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good choice for riders seeking high-speed touring, serious off-road capability, or two-up comfort over long distances.
