How it rides

- Built as a high-powered, four-wheeled-tire allrounder blending strong straight-line performance with unique stability, more suited to sweeping roads and boulevard presence than tight technical riding.
- Built for
- A bold, engineering-driven curiosity that trades classic motorcycle cornering feel for four-wheeler-inspired grip and a strong in-line four soundtrack.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking light, flickable handling, off-road capability, or a conventional two-wheel cornering experience.
