The tubular steel frame grips the engine in three places and is designed to be as narrow as possible around the rider’s inseam, while the bolt-on cast aluminium subframe provides further scope for customisation.

The 690mm high seat is comfortable when you ride, and it makes it easier to flat-foot it at stoplights or in parking lots. Combined with the mid-mounted footpegs, they ensure a natural riding position, with balanced and neutral steering.
