Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience, since the tall seat height and single-cylinder torque demand confident, deliberate handling.
PurposeA classic big-bore single built for dual-sport adventure, mixing dirt-capable ruggedness with just enough road manners for longer rides between trails.
Rider FitThe tall 885mm seat height and lean 156kg dry weight favor taller or more physically confident riders, especially when standing on the pegs off-road.
CharacterSimple, torquey, and mechanically honest, this bike rewards riders who enjoy the thumping character and hands-on feel of a traditional big single.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or outright performance on paved roads.
