Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders progressing beyond a starter bike as well as experienced riders wanting a light, lively single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a nimble city and canyon-carving streetfighter rather than a long-distance or off-road machine.
Rider FitIts low dry weight and slim trellis chassis make it easy to flick around and manageable for riders of varying strength and stature, though the 830mm seat height may challenge shorter riders.
CharacterA punchy, single-cylinder naked bike with sharp handling, strong brakes, and an eager, playful attitude that rewards aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer or a capable off-road adventure companion.
