Rider Profile

Best ForThis retro muscle-bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who appreciate a big, torquey air/oil-cooled-style inline four with old-school carbureted character.
PurposeBuilt as a modern homage to 1980s superbikes, it excels at strong midrange pulls, naked-bike street riding, and occasional spirited backroad or track-day use rather than pure racing.
Rider FitAt over 220kg dry with a long wheelbase, it demands a rider with reasonable strength and confidence at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterIt has a raw, muscular, and nostalgic personality, favoring brute torque and stability over cutting-edge lightness or agility.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for off-road use, absolute beginners, or riders seeking a lightweight, ultra-nimble modern sportbike.
