Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits new to intermediate riders who want a light, manageable street naked to build skills on. |
| Purpose | It is designed primarily as an urban commuter with a sporty street-fighter attitude rather than a highway or track weapon. |
| Rider Fit | Its low weight and modest 780mm seat height make it accessible to riders of average or shorter stature. |
| Character | The RTR 165 has a spirited, naked-streetfighter personality with sharp styling and nimble, flickable handling typical of small-displacement single-cylinder commuters. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not a good fit for riders seeking sustained high-speed touring, long-distance comfort, or serious off-road capability. |
