Features
Twin cylinder engine
The light and narrow 471cc parallel cylinder engine offers plenty of power and torque in the midrange, striking the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be. PGM-FI continuously ensures the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the conditions, giving you crisp throttle response at all times.
Disc brakes with ABS
Front and rear disc brakes, combined with standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.
LED lighting
Bright LED headlights and taillight deliver great visibility.
