Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience on mid-to-large displacement bikes, given its weight and torquey inline-four power delivery.
PurposeThis is a sport-touring UJM built for covering long distances comfortably while still offering respectable performance for spirited road riding.
Rider FitThe 790mm seat height and 218kg dry weight make it manageable for most average-height riders, though its heft is noticeable at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA classic early-90s Japanese all-rounder with smooth, linear power delivery and a relaxed, upright riding position favoring stability over aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or razor-sharp track-focused handling.
