Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a raw, high-strung two-stroke best suited to experienced riders who understand power valve delivery and can manage a sudden surge onto the pipe.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive sport riding and spirited backroad or track use rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitIts light weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around, but the narrow seat and sporty ergonomics demand an active, engaged riding posture.
CharacterA snarling, lightweight two-stroke twin with a peaky power delivery that rewards precise throttle control and revels in fast, flowing corners.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, pillion-focused riding, long-distance touring, or anyone wanting smooth, low-maintenance daily transport.
