Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, powerful machine.
PurposeBuilt as a fast, muscular sport tourer for covering long distances quickly while still carrying gear and a passenger.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and wide bars demand decent upper body strength and confidence at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA big-hearted air-cooled four with strong midrange torque, favoring stable high-speed cruising over flickable agility.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for new riders or those wanting a light, nimble bike for tight city streets or technical off-road use.
