The new super-bike's dry weight of just 362 lbs., the 195 horsepower, and 98.1 lb-ft of torque not only represent categorical improvements but the best power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios available in any bike, anywhere.

The trellis frame is gone, replaced with a cast aluminum monocoque skeleton that incorporates the 1200cc Superquadro L-twin engine as a fully stressed member of the chassis, with rear and front sub-frames fixed to the engine and monocoque, respectively, for even more structural rigidity throughout every component.

High-tech goodies include traction control, ABS, three distinct riding modes, electronic suspension, ride-by-wire, and Engine Brake Control for greater stability in hard braking.
