Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a demanding two-stroke V4 race replica best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a narrow power band, kick starting, and sharp, peaky delivery. |
| Purpose | Built as a lightweight, high-revving sport bike for spirited backroad riding and track-day thrills rather than practical transportation. |
| Rider Fit | Expect a committed, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and low bars that place significant weight on the wrists and demand decent fitness and flexibility. |
| Character | A raw, buzzy, and thrilling two-stroke that rewards riders who love revving it out near 10,000rpm and carving corners on its light aluminium chassis. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for riders wanting comfort, passenger space, long-distance touring capability, or a forgiving, low-maintenance ride. |
