Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want strong performance without a full-on supersport's compromises. |
| Purpose | A sport touring machine designed to blend fast, engaging in-line four power with long-distance comfort and luggage capacity. |
| Rider Fit | At 230 kg with an 820 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably confident, moderately tall rider, especially at low speed or when loaded with luggage and a passenger. |
| Character | Torquey, refined and muscular, delivering strong top-end punch with a stable, confidence-inspiring chassis for covering ground quickly. |
| Not Ideal For | Not ideal for off-road use, new riders intimidated by weight and power, or anyone wanting a light, flickable city commuter. |
