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.
