Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-strung single-cylinder supermoto best suited to experienced riders comfortable with an abrupt, top-heavy power delivery and minimal rider aids.
PurposeBuilt for flicking through tight corners, hooligan street riding, and supermoto track days rather than any form of long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts tall 900mm seat height, light 116kg dry weight, and aggressive riding position favor taller, physically fit riders who enjoy standing and shifting body weight actively.
CharacterA raw, race-bred single-cylinder machine that rewards aggressive, precise riding with razor-sharp agility and strong cornering feedback.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for beginners, passengers, or anyone wanting a comfortable, long-range, or low-maintenance everyday motorcycle.
