Rider Profile

Best For	This is a specialist supermotard best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a light, high-strung single-cylinder machine.
Purpose	Built for sharp, flickable cornering on tight tarmac circuits and technical backroads rather than long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	The tall 880mm seat height and minimal weight demand good rider fitness and confidence, though the extreme light weight makes it manageable for its class.
Character	A raw, focused single-cylinder machine that rewards aggressive, precise inputs with razor-sharp handling and immediate throttle response.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable, low-seat, long-range touring bike or one that easily carries a passenger.
