Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey big-bore four-cylinder and its substantial mass. |
| Purpose | It's built as a versatile all-rounder, equally happy carving up backroads, commuting, and eating up highway miles two-up. |
| Rider Fit | At 220 kg dry with a 790 mm seat height, it demands decent strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering it off the stand. |
| Character | The naked-with-fairing sport-tourer character delivers strong midrange torque, a relaxed upright riding position, and a broad, forgiving spread of usable power. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable machine or anyone planning serious off-road excursions. |
