Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who is comfortable with strong, immediate power delivery from a big in-line four.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-oriented naked bike, it excels at fast road riding, spirited cornering, and occasional high-speed touring.
Rider FitA moderately tall seat height and substantial weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a handful at low speeds or when stationary.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, muscular character with a torquey engine that rewards confident throttle use and assertive riding.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for off-road use, beginner riders, or those seeking a lightweight, low-maintenance commuter.
