Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to an experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, powerful sport-tourer that demands deliberate inputs.
PurposeBuilt as a futuristic, fully-faired sport-tourer, it prioritizes high-speed stability and long-distance grand touring over agility or off-road ability.
Rider FitAt 239 kg dry with a low-ish 780mm seat height, it is manageable at a stop but its bulk is felt at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterIt has a distinctive, eccentric personality as one of BMW's boldest 1990s designs, blending shaft-drive touring comfort with a genuinely quick in-line four engine.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.
