Rider Profile
| Best For | Great for newer and intermediate riders thanks to its tractable torque and light weight, yet the punchy CP2 twin keeps experienced riders entertained too. |
| Purpose | A do-it-all naked roadster built for commuting, canyon carving and spirited weekend rides. Fun-first street bike that thrives on twisty paved backroads. |
| Rider Fit | Slim, light 403 lb wet with a manageable 31.7 in seat and upright bars. Neutral, roomy ergonomics that suit a wide range of riders. |
| Character | Playful, torquey and eager. The characterful crossplane twin gives strong low-end grunt and a lively, flickable personality that makes every ride engaging. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for off-road use, long-haul touring with full luggage, or riders wanting top-end superbike speed or extensive wind protection. |
