Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for experienced riders; its peaky, high-revving nature and aggressive ergonomics punish beginners. Ideal for those with track or sport-riding background. |
| Purpose | A dedicated supersport built for carving canyons and lapping racetracks. It rewards precision and high revs over relaxed cruising or hauling gear. |
| Rider Fit | Aggressive committed riding position: tall 850mm seat, low clip-on bars, high rearsets. Compact and light at 190kg, but hard on wrists at low speed. |
| Character | A razor-sharp, screaming inline-four that lives above 10,000 rpm. Flickable, precise and thrilling on a smooth road or track, demanding but rewarding. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, two-up touring, or anyone wanting easy low-rev torque or long-distance ease. |
