Rider Profile

Best ForFor experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, powerful big-bore machine; not a beginner's bike.
PurposeFast-paced sport touring: covering long distances at speed with luggage and a passenger on paved roads.
Rider FitLarge, heavy (256kg) full-size bike with a semi-sporty upright riding stance, roomy ergonomics and 20L tank for range.
CharacterMuscular air-cooled inline-four sport tourer of the late '80s-smooth, torquey, stable at high speed but bulky and physical at low speeds.
Not Ideal ForNot for novices, city commuters wanting a nimble ride, or anyone seeking off-road or track-focused performance.
