Rider Profile

Best For	Approachable for newer riders thanks to light weight and friendly power, yet fun enough to keep experienced hooligans grinning. Tall seat suits taller riders.
Purpose	A street supermoto built for carving city streets, backroad hairpins and kart-track laps. Wheelies, stoppies and flickable fun over outright speed.
Rider Fit	Very tall 890mm seat and slim, upright motard ergonomics. Featherweight 146kg wet with narrow tank and minimal wind protection.
Character	A playful, energetic single-cylinder motard-light, torquy and endlessly flickable. All about grins per mile rather than top-end thrills.
Not Ideal For	Not for highway commuters, tourers or two-up riders-tiny 10L tank, buzzy single, no wind protection and a seat too tall for short inseams.
