This bike uses a liquid-cooled 750cc V-twin engine thats capable of producing 95 horsepower at 9 000 rpm The 11:1 compression ratio is slightly lower than the average of all 2012 naked 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 92 x 56 4mm 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 |
