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