Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight 2-stroke twin suits beginner to intermediate riders comfortable with a peaky, revvy power delivery.
PurposeIt's best suited to nimble city commuting and light recreational riding rather than serious performance or long-distance work.
Rider FitAt just 131 kg the bike is easy to handle, flick around, and manage at a stop for riders of most sizes and strengths.
CharacterIt has the classic small-capacity 2-stroke twin character: light, buzzy, eager to rev, and full of old-school charm.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting high speed, long motorway touring comfort, or off-road capability.
