Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders who understand big, air-cooled fours with restricted horsepower but a lot of low-end heft.
PurposeIt was built as a sport touring machine, blending long-legged high-speed cruising with reasonably sporty handling for its era.
Rider FitAt 253 kg it demands a confident, physically capable rider, especially at low speed and when maneuvering off the bike's stand.
CharacterIt suits a rider who enjoys classic-era big-bore inline-four character, a reduced-power 'de-restricted market' variant that still offers strong top-end pull and a commanding highway presence.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, those wanting light flickable agility, or anyone seeking modern comfort and off-road capability.
