Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who respect brutal, unfiltered acceleration and a heavy, torque-laden chassis.
PurposeBuilt almost purely for straight-line muscle and drag-strip theatrics rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 262 kg dry weight and low, wide stance demand strong arms and confident low-speed handling from the rider.
CharacterA legendary power-cruiser with a menacing V4 growl and outrageous thrust that defines the classic muscle-bike persona.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, nimble, or long-haul touring companion.
