Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a powerful, naked liter-class engine with immediate throttle response. |
| Purpose | Built as a street-focused naked bike that blends sportbike-derived power and handling with a more upright, versatile riding position. |
| Rider Fit | The 815mm seat height and 221kg weight demand reasonable leg length and confident low-speed handling, though the naked ergonomics are less punishing than a full sportbike. |
| Character | A muscular, torque-rich streetfighter that rewards aggressive riding while still being usable for everyday commuting and spirited weekend rides. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for off-road use, complete beginners, or riders prioritizing long-distance touring comfort and wind protection. |
