Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some off-road or vintage single-cylinder experience, given its light weight, tall front tyre, and 21-inch wheel typical of enduro-style handling.
PurposeThis is a lightweight, big-bore trail/enduro machine designed for off-road capability and nimble handling rather than outright speed or comfort.
Rider FitIts very low 132 kg weight and narrow single-cylinder frame make it easy to manage and flick around, suiting riders of most sizes and strengths.
CharacterA raw, mechanical, and characterful classic enduro single that rewards an engaged, hands-on riding style over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable, high-speed, or passenger-friendly touring motorcycle.
