Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding machine best suited to experienced riders who already understand aggressive supermoto handling and a race-derived two-stroke-like power delivery from its big-bore thumper.
PurposeBuilt for sharp cornering attack on tight tarmac circuits and backroads, this is a purpose-built supermoto competition bike rather than a general-purpose machine.
Rider FitThe bike demands an active, fit rider comfortable standing on pegs and shifting body weight aggressively, as its tall, narrow, minimal-comfort ergonomics offer little forgiveness on long rides.
CharacterIt has the raw, punchy, high-strung character of a competition single-cylinder motard, rewarding precise inputs with razor-sharp turn-in and strong braking feel from its premium suspension and big front disc.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for a new rider seeking comfort, passenger capability, or relaxed long-distance touring.
