Price MSRP

This bike is powered by a liquid-cooled 1237cc V4 engine Fuel injection makes for effortless cold starts and smooth power delivery The 12:1 compression ratio is unimpressive relative to the average of all 2012 supersport bikes A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size the only downside is that using low octane fuel can damage the engine A cylinder bore and stroke of 81 x 60mm makes this motor oversquare: the bore width of the cylinder is greater than its stroke length Oversquare engines excel at revving high and producing a lot of power for their displacement at the expense of low-end torque

Compression Ratio

The wheelbase measures in at a quite-lengthy 60 8 inches clearly favoring stability over agility A seat height of 31 9 inches is only 1 40 inches higher than the average motorcycles making it manageable for riders of most heights
