Additional Specifications:

• Oil Capacity: 3.8 l (with oil filter change)

Chassis/Suspension:

• Aggressive chassis geometry for quick handling; the engine is shoved forward for excellent handling.
• Aggressive ergos: 4.75-gallon tank moves the rider forward into a position of total control-supersport-like 51 percent front-wheel weight bias means confident, quick handling.
• Light-and-rigid aluminum frame uses a special mold casting technique that allowed engineers to minutely vary metal thicknesses for optimal rigidity throughout.
• Stressed-engine design holds the engine in place with six mounts, for excellent vertical stiffness and handling.
• Two-inch longer and more rigid Controlled-Fill aluminum swingarm reduces drive chain-induced suspension movement for excellent handling, tire grip and looks.
• 43 mm fully adjustable inverted fork contains compression damping circuitry in the left leg and rebound in the right-proven effective on the YZR-M1 MotoGP bike-as well as stiffer springs for excellent handling.
• Two 320 mm front discs squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers and a single 245 mm rear disc serve up strong stopping power.
• Removable subframe for easy maintenance and detachable passenger footpeg mounts for even more stripped-down style.
• Light, R1-spec five-spoke wheels and fat radial tires, including a 190/50-ZR17 rear, complete the look and serve up the traction.

Engine:

• 998 cc DOHC 20-valve previous generation R1 engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power.
• R1-style fuel injection with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel/air mixture for superb power delivery across the entire rev range.
• Closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big, 77 mm bores.
• Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 11.5:1 compression ratio. Big valves and high-lift cams flow plenty of air.
• Carburized connecting rods with fractured big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
• High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves ensure great heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
• Four-into-one chamberless short-style exhaust contains stainless steel EXUP and three-way catalyst with Oxygen sensor for outstanding power delivery throughout the rev range and low emissions.
• Curved high-capacity radiator with twin ring-style fans keeps everything cool under all conditions.

Key Features:

• Our ultimate street brawler brings 998 cc of fuel-injected previous generation R1 power to the fray, in a light-and-strong aluminum frame.
• Sculpted fuel tank and one-piece handlebar move the rider forward for aggressive naked-bike excitement.
