This bike is powered by a liquid-cooled 1198cc V-twin engine thats capable of producing 170 horsepower at 9 750 rpm Maximum torque is 97 0 ft-lbs occurring at 8 000 rpm Fuel injection makes for effortless cold starts and smooth power delivery The 12 7:1 compression ratio is just about average relative to all 2011 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 106 x 67 9mm 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
