Command the Ride

Handle the city. With a naturally upright riding position that puts you in charge. Lightweight 5-spoke wheels, sporty aluminum swingarm and footpegs shave mass for super-fast, effortless steering. Dual 296mm discs and Nissin two-piston radial-mount calipers offer strong, progressive braking. Dialed-in Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork-Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks mean you can push hard into corners with all the feedback for grip you need. And then some.

This 471cc twin-cylinder has performance to spare with 35kW and 43Nm of torque in the mid-range ensuring instant acceleration and, if you're in the mood for fun, the exhaust howls pleasingly as rpm rises.
