Throttle By Wire (TBW); 3 pre-set riding modes plus a 'User' setting. Power (P), Engine Brake (EB) & Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) work together across the pre-sets to offer optimum benefit to the rider dependent on the conditions. The exhaust transmits a raw-edged howl as revs rise.
Now 12kg lighter than the outgoing design, making for a 20% improvement in power to weight ratio. It's also smaller, yet has a more relaxed riding position.
Supporting the radical new look is a box section mono backbone steel frame, with Showa Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD suspension up front & Showa monoshock at the rear. Radial-mount front brakes, ABS and a 190-section rear tyre complete the chassis' upgrade.
