Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a peaky two-stroke race replica best suited to experienced riders comfortable with narrow power delivery and high-rev engine management.
PurposeBuilt primarily for sharp cornering, track days, and spirited sport riding rather than practicality or distance covering.
Rider FitIts light 150kg weight and committed sportbike ergonomics demand an aggressive, forward-leaning riding position that can tire out taller or less flexible riders on longer stints.
CharacterA raw, high-strung 2-stroke twin with a narrow but explosive power band that rewards precise throttle and gear control with thrilling acceleration and razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good choice for riders wanting a relaxed commuter, a comfortable tourer, or anyone seeking low-maintenance, forgiving power delivery.
