Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, sporty V-twin that rewards confident throttle control. |
| Purpose | It's built as a versatile sport-naked, equally happy carving twisty backroads as commuting through city traffic. |
| Rider Fit | A moderate 800mm seat height and manageable 186kg dry weight make it accessible to most rider statures, though the reach to the semi-sporty bars adds some wrist load at low speed. |
| Character | The big V2 engine gives it a characterful, pulsing feel with strong midrange punch rather than a screaming top-end rush. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger. |
