Rider Profile
| Best For | Approachable supersport suited to intermediate riders and ambitious beginners; friendly torque and light weight make it a great step up without intimidating power. |
| Purpose | Sporty backroad carving and track-day duty. A budget-friendly middleweight sportbike built for cornering thrills over outright top-speed bragging rights. |
| Rider Fit | Aggressive clip-on riding position with 32.7in seat and forward lean. Slim, light 417lb chassis feels flickable, but committed ergonomics tire on long rides. |
| Character | Punchy, torquey CP2 twin in a razor-sharp fully-faired chassis. Playful, characterful and rewarding rather than brutal - accessible fun with real sportbike focus. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for tourers, two-up cruising, or riders wanting relaxed upright comfort. Off-road use and long highway hauls are outside its wheelhouse. |
