Wiki

The liquid cooled V4 VTEC 782cc four stroke engine produces 104.5bhp at 10,250rpm and maximum torque at 8,500rpm. It has been tuned for improved low-mid range torque.

Features include:

  • Triple box section Aluminium frame
  • Dual 310mm discs up front with Tokico 2 piston radial calipers
  • 256mm disc at the rear with 2 piston caliper
  • Dual channel ABS
  • Adjustable 43mm Showa fork with 108mm travel
  • Adjustable Showa rear shock with 120mm travel
  • Self cancelling indicators
  • Traction control (on or off)
  • Heated grips with five levels
  • Retractable grab handles
  • 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator

Improvements over the 2006-2013 model include new suspension, swingarm, wheels, thinner bodywork, traction control, ABS, heated grips and self cancelling indicators; basically everything bar the frame and engine. Overall 7kg has been shaved off the weight and the seat is now adjustable to 789mm or 809mm. A big chunk of the weight saving comes from changing the dual underseat exhaust system to a single muffler on the right which also lowers the centre of gravity. The rest is mostly achieved by replacing the steel sub-frame with a cast Aluminium version.

The V4 engine is designed to be really compact but to achieve this it's also quite complicated and part of the complexity is the clever VTEC system. Much like VTEC in Honda's cars the engine switches between two profiles at high and low rpms with only one pair of valves operating at low rpms for efficiency and two pairs at higher rpms for power; it's a smoother transition between the two profiles now as well.

The 10 spoke 17" fine die cast Aluminium wheels take a 120/70 tyre up front and 180/55 at the rear, while the dash provides you with the usual plus ambient temperature, heated grip level and gear position indicator. The new front X-light and rear lights are LED based, with indicators now mounted in the mirrors.

Accessories include a quick shifter (£165), 12V socket (£75), rear hugger (£80), colour coded 45 litre top box (£250), panniers (£650) and Akrapovic slip on exhaust (£670).

Colours: Red, white, black, grey (2017)

2017: Honda added a new angular muffler making it Euro 4 compliant and a 12V socket.
