- Built for
- A razor-sharp, screaming crossplane litre-bike-intense, precise and utterly focused. All adrenaline, thriving at full throttle and hard lean angles.
- Not ideal for
- Not for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, two-up touring, or anyone wanting a relaxed all-day ride. No off-road ability whatsoever.
