Best for
Built as a lightweight sporty commuter and back-road scratcher rather than a practical all-rounder, reflecting Italian 125cc sport bikes of the early 1980s.
Built for
Expect a buzzy, revvy, two-stroke soundtrack with dual front discs and a 6-speed gearbox that reward frequent shifting and an aggressive riding style.
Not ideal for
This is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger capability, or any kind of off-road capability.
