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