Feature information
Cutting-edge Crossplane Engine
The 998cc in-line 4-cylinder, crossplane crankshaft engine features titanium fracture-split connecting rods, which are an industry first for a production motorcycle.
Compact Stacked Transmission
A 6-speed transmission has also been adopted to match the
new
engine. The transmission "stacks" the input/output shafts to
centralize mass and to keep the overall engine size shorter front
to
back, which optimizes engine placement in the frame for
outstanding
weight balance.
