Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate or experienced riders who can manage a powerful, fairly tall and substantial sport-touring machine. |
| Purpose | Built for covering long distances rapidly and comfortably, blending V-twin performance with genuine touring practicality. |
| Rider Fit | The 840mm seat height and considerable overall mass mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a handful at a standstill. |
| Character | A muscular, torquey V-twin sport tourer that rewards confident throttle use with strong midrange punch and stable high-speed cruising. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for new riders seeking a light, forgiving first bike or for anyone planning serious off-road adventure riding. |
