Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for an experienced rider who wants something genuinely unusual rather than outright track ability, given its huge torque, unconventional diesel powertrain, and considerable heft. |
| Purpose | Built as a torque-monster curiosity and engineering showcase, it favors thunderous low-rev pull and long-legged cruising over lightweight sportiness. |
| Rider Fit | At nearly 300kg dry with a low 650mm seat height, it feels planted and manageable at a standstill but demands strength and confidence when maneuvering at low speed or in tight spaces. |
| Character | It has a brutish, industrial personality defined by massive diesel torque delivered low in the rev range, a distinctive exhaust note, and rock-steady stability from its counter-rotating crankshafts. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not suited to riders seeking flickable agility, off-road capability, or a conventional high-revving sportbike experience. |
