Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Suited to newer-to-intermediate riders thanks to its approachable V-twin power delivery, low seat height, and manageable weight. |
| Purpose | A versatile naked streetfighter built for punchy midrange torque, everyday commuting, and confident weekend cornering rather than outright top speed. |
| Rider Fit | The low 785mm seat height and light 196kg curb weight make it accessible for shorter riders and easy to muscle around in traffic or parking. |
| Character | Delivers the characterful, torquey pulse typical of a 90-degree V-twin with sharp, flickable handling from its steel trellis frame and 17-inch sport wheels. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for long-distance touring comfort, pillion-heavy trips, or any off-road riding given its street-focused suspension and minimal wind protection. |
