The Roadster was the first bike created by the French motorcycle company. It was presented for the first time in Paris, in 1997, being the masterpiece of Sacha Lakik. The first machines were seen on the street in 1998. Seven years later, there were some minor aesthetic changes of the headlight and a limited edition was created.
