First off, we've rebored that revolutionary ultrashort-stroke, liquid-cooled , 5-valve thumper and retooled the piston and crankshaft. Dropped in a brand-new 39mm Keihin flat-slide FeR carb with throttle position sensor (TPS) and a newly integrated hot-start button.

And tweaked first-and second-gear ratios while beefing up clutch capacity with larger , stronger plates. The result? Try a sharp boost in power and throttle response and a broad, flat torque-band that spells instant hook-up for you - and instant headaches for anyone in your wake. A new subframe and aluminum suspension internals shave weight, and we've repositioned the steering head pipe to create a more compact wheelbase for lighter feel. Greater power. Lighter chassis. Smoother suspension . Quicker steering. A new revolution has begun.
