Best for: It exists as a boutique, exclusive-order sportbike built for spirited backroad riding and collector appeal rather than practical transportation.
Built for: The bespoke titanium chassis, exotic Fior-type front end, and V-twin punch give it a bespoke, artisanal character that rewards precise, engaged riding over brute speed.
Not ideal for: This is not the right bike for new riders, budget-conscious buyers, commuters, or anyone seeking passenger comfort or long-distance touring practicality.
