Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders who have progressed past beginner status and want a naked bike with real mid-range punch to grow into. |
| Purpose | A do-it-all naked streetbike that excels at spirited road riding, commuting, and weekend canyon carving rather than dedicated track or touring use. |
| Rider Fit | The 815mm seat height and moderate 220.9kg weight make it manageable for average-height riders, though the upright naked stance puts some load on wrists at speed. |
| Character | An aggressive, torquey in-line four with a rigid aluminium Deltabox frame that rewards confident throttle inputs and precise cornering lines. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for off-road adventures, tall-windscreen highway touring comfort seekers, or complete novice riders due to its strong midrange power delivery. |
