Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a peaky, high-strung two-stroke best suited to experienced riders who know how to keep a small-bore engine spinning in its narrow power band.
PurposeBuilt purely for sharp, aggressive sport riding and track-day style cornering rather than any practical transportation role.
Rider FitIts light weight and compact sportbike ergonomics demand an aggressive forward-leaning riding position that suits smaller, fitter riders more than tall or heavy ones.
CharacterA raw, race-replica two-stroke with explosive power delivery, razor-sharp handling, and an unmistakable high-revving screaming character.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting comfort, low-end torque, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring capability.
