Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, substantial machine rather than a first-time learner bike.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring all-rounder, equally happy eating up motorway miles as handling weekend backroad rides.
Rider FitAt 218 kg dry with a 790 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably confident, moderately strong rider especially at low speed or when fully loaded.
CharacterA classic UJM-style in-line four with a broad torque spread, delivering smooth, predictable power and a relaxed, unintimidating character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures or for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city commuting.
