Rider Profile

Best ForThis 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.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight, high-revving sport bike for spirited backroad riding and track-day thrills rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitExpect 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.
CharacterA 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 ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting comfort, passenger space, long-distance touring capability, or a forgiving, low-maintenance ride.
