Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders comfortable with a peaky two-stroke that demands attention to the tachometer and rewards active riding. |
| Purpose | A lightweight sport twin built for spirited backroad riding and quick, flickable cornering rather than raw top-end speed or utility. |
| Rider Fit | Compact and light at around 168 kg with a low-ish 800mm seat height, making it accessible to riders of varying size and easy to muscle around at low speed. |
| Character | A classic buzzy, narrow-power-band two-stroke twin that rewards revving it out and shifting frequently, delivering a raw, visceral riding sensation. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or off-road capability. |
