4-stroke engine from the Bosch electronic fuel-injection system to
the four-valve cylinder head with DLC-coated finger followers.
These engine components all combine maximum power with impressive
refinement and reliability. WP suspension components as well as a
top quality ABS braking system by Brembo ensure precision and full
control for a retail price of $4,999.

weight ratio. Exceptional braking performance and a lightweight
chassis combine to deliver unmatched control and agility. This
fully-faired race machine comes with a trellis frame, WP
upside-down 43mm front forks. LED lighting, ABS, lightweight cast
aluminum swingarm, and light aluminum wheels to make it a
class-leading performer. This unit will retail at an exceptional

control (MSC) with cornering and off-road ABS, MTC traction control
with 4 ride modes, cruise control and the world's first LED
