Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a powerful, sporty in-line four that demands active handling.
PurposeIt is built primarily for spirited sport riding and fast road work, with reasonable versatility for occasional longer trips.
Rider FitThe riding position leans forward and the 232 kg mass requires moderate strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterIt has the personality of a classic early-90s sport bike: eager, high-revving, and rewarding to ride hard.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for off-road use, complete beginners, or riders seeking a plush long-distance touring experience.
