Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with a high-strung, rev-happy rotary engine and race-replica ergonomics. |
| Purpose | Built as a homologation-style sportbike, its purpose is fast road riding and track-day performance rather than commuting or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | The compact, aggressive riding position and light overall weight demand an active, fit rider who can tuck in and shift body weight through corners. |
| Character | It has the character of an exotic, rare rotary-powered superbike, offering smooth high-rev power delivery and sharp handling with a distinct mechanical personality. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for riders seeking upright comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or any kind of off-road versatility. |
