Rider Profile
| Best For | For experienced riders only. Its 200hp crossplane engine and racing electronics demand real skill and respect; a poor choice for novices. |
| Purpose | A track-focused open-class superbike built to devour circuits and fast canyon roads, with launch, slide and traction control for extracting extreme performance. |
| Rider Fit | Aggressive committed riding posture: high rearset pegs, low clip-ons, 856mm seat and firm race suspension. Compact 448lb chassis rewards, but punishes on long rides. |
| Character | A razor-sharp, screaming crossplane litre-bike-intense, precise and utterly focused. All adrenaline, thriving at full throttle and hard lean angles. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, two-up touring, or anyone wanting a relaxed all-day ride. No off-road ability whatsoever. |
