Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a hyper-exotic superbike best suited to experienced, skilled riders who can safely manage nearly 1 hp per kg and a 12,500 rpm powerband. |
| Purpose | Built primarily as a track-focused, boutique sportbike for high-speed cornering and straight-line performance rather than everyday transport. |
| Rider Fit | The high seat height, aggressive sport riding position, and firm suspension demand good physical fitness and flexibility, especially on longer rides. |
| Character | A rare, hand-built Italian-flavored British superbike with race-derived electronics, exotic materials, and a raw, high-revving V4 character aimed at connoisseurs. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not a good choice for new riders, commuters, pillion-focused riders, or anyone wanting comfort, practicality, or off-road capability. |
