Rider Profile

Best For	Great for beginners through to experienced riders wanting a forgiving, do-it-all middleweight. Manageable power delivery and predictable handling.
Purpose	A versatile all-rounder for commuting, weekend blasts and light touring. The half-fairing adds wind protection for longer rides.
Rider Fit	Upright, roomy riding position with an accessible 790mm seat. Fairly heavy at 199kg dry but well-balanced and easy to manage at low speed.
Character	A friendly, dependable jack-of-all-trades. The air/oil-cooled GSX-R-derived four is torquey and unfussy, making it fun without being intimidating.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders chasing sportbike outright speed or track dominance, nor anyone wanting off-road capability or hardcore long-haul touring luxury.
