Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to newer or younger riders cutting their teeth on a lightweight two-stroke sportbike, though its peaky power delivery rewards a bit of prior experience.
PurposeBuilt for sharp, playful sport riding on twisty roads rather than outright speed or distance covering.
Rider FitIts tiny 132kg dry weight and low seat height make it extremely easy to manage for smaller or lighter riders.
CharacterA revvy, high-strung two-stroke that demands to be kept on the boil and rewards an aggressive, engaged riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for taller riders, highway commuters, or anyone wanting a relaxed, comfortable long-distance machine.
