Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience, since its revvy inline-four demands active gear use to extract performance.
PurposeIt was built as a lightweight, sporty middleweight for spirited road riding rather than long-distance touring or utility use.
Rider FitA compact, relatively light steel-framed 400cc machine, it should be manageable for riders of average or smaller stature.
CharacterExpect a high-revving, mechanically eager four-cylinder engine with a classic 1980s sportbike soundtrack and nimble handling.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders seeking long-haul comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or any off-road capability.
