Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a large, heavy sport-tourer at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed, long-distance touring with strong shaft-driven torque and all-day comfort rather than outright sportbike thrills.
Rider FitAt nearly 291kg wet with a tall seat height, shorter or less physically confident riders may find slow-speed maneuvering and parking a workout.
CharacterA refined, torque-rich mile-muncher that rewards smooth, confident riding with effortless highway cruising and strong shaft-drive reliability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city commuting or off-road exploration.
