Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who understand air-cooled, high-strung sportbikes and their quirks.
PurposeBuilt as a homologation-special race replica, it's purpose-built for spirited backroad riding and track days rather than practical transport.
Rider FitExpect an aggressive, low, forward-leaning riding position that places real strain on wrists and neck over long stints.
CharacterIt has the raw, mechanical, high-revving character typical of late-80s air/oil-cooled inline-fours, rewarding a rider who works the gearbox and revs.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for someone wanting plush comfort, easy commuting, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or any kind of off-road capability.
