Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the listed Power figure of 10.50 seems implausibly low for a 450cc supermoto and is likely a data error (probably meant to be in a different unit or measured differently), so scores rely mainly on category and chassis knowledge; this bike suits expe
PurposeBuilt as a road-legal supermoto for attacking twisty tarmac, flick-flack cornering, and occasional track-day use rather than commuting or distance riding.
Rider FitDemands an active, fit rider who can stand on the pegs, shift body weight aggressively, and manage a tall, firm, minimal-suspension-travel seating position with no wind protection.
CharacterA raw, race-bred, boutique Italian machine with a titanium-valve engine, premium Brembo/Marzocchi components, and razor-sharp handling that rewards precision over comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to beginners, taller-distance touring riders, pillion passengers, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance daily commuter.
