Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds and in tight maneuvers. |
| Purpose | Built for long-distance, high-comfort touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting agility. |
| Rider Fit | At 343 kg wet with an 810mm+ seat height, it demands decent physical strength and confidence handling weight at parking-lot speeds. |
| Character | A refined, powerful grand tourer that rewards smooth, relaxed riding with effortless highway cruising and a silky inline-six soundtrack. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight urban streets. |
