Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a heavy, torquey retro muscle bike with old-school handling manners.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive street riding and backroad blasting, delivering big in-line four power and torque in a classic naked roadster package.
Rider FitThe tall seat height combined with 230 kg of dry weight demands a confident, physically capable rider, especially at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA brutish, charismatic retro streetfighter that rewards muscular riding with strong midrange torque and an unmistakable big-four growl.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, those wanting light and flickable handling, or anyone planning serious long-distance touring or off-road use.
