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