Rider Profile

Best ForThis high-revving 250cc four-cylinder naked bike suits new-to-intermediate riders who enjoy working an engine hard to extract performance.
PurposeIt's built as a lightweight, characterful commuter and city naked bike rather than a straight-line or long-distance machine.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and compact naked-bike ergonomics make it easy to manage for riders of most sizes and shorter inseams.
CharacterIt rewards revving the engine toward its 15,000 rpm redline with a distinctive four-cylinder soundtrack and smooth, buzzy power delivery.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good match for riders wanting strong low-end torque, high top-end speed, or a comfortable two-up touring platform.
