Features and Benefits


NEW FOR 2004

  • Remapped fuel injection for improved response throughout the powerband.
  • Larger volume exhaust canister for improved exhaust flow at high rpm.
  • New-design 120/60-ZR17 front and 180/55-ZR17 rear Dunlop radial tires deliver excellent grip.


ENGINE

  • Ultra-compact, lightweight, 600cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled, inline 4-cylinder puts out over 200 horsepower per liter.
  • Competition-bred suction-piston-type fuel injection features short intake ports and a special vacuum-controlled intake system to ensure instant throttle response all the way up to the 15,500-rpm redline.
  • Compact slant-block engine design uses stacked gearbox shafts to create a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution.
  • Ram-Air Induction System delivers cool, high-pressure air for optimal combustion and greater horsepower at high speed.
  • Lightweight forged pistons feature carburized connecting rods for superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass.
  • Linerless, ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
  • Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.
  • Special 3-axis gearbox design stacks input/output shafts to keep overall engine size to super-compact dimensions.
  • Curved radiator follows the contour of the frame and bodywork for an ultra-sleek look and excellent cooling performance.
  • Specially designed, one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly provides superior engine rigidity and light weight.
  • Engine is a fully stressed chassis member to allow for a super-light frame design.
  • Compact, large-capacity clutch ensures consistent, fade-free performance.
  • Rifle-bored camshafts with specially designed valve lifters and computer-perfected timing for reduced spinning mass and quicker acceleration.
  • Large-capacity internal water pump and separate liquid-cooled oil cooler ensure optimal engine cooling efficiency.
  • 4-into-2-into-1 aluminum exhaust optimizes engine performance, reduces overall weight and is tucked in high for maximum lean angle.
  • CDI ignition system with integrated "stick-type" coils delivers hard-hitting punch across the entire 15,500-rpm rev range.


CHASSIS/SUSPENSION:

  • Radical Deltabox IlI aluminum chassis is light, 50% stiffer, and extremely compact for razor-sharp handling.
  • Controlled Fill die casting produces an incredibly sleek swingarm that is remarkably strong and light by pinpointing exactly where material needs to be. Pivot position and swingarm length (576mm) are optimized for great traction feel.
  • Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) 43mm telescopic front fork with 4.7" of travel offers race-bred suspension performance with ultra-precise rider feedback.
  • Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) piggyback rear shock with 4.7" of travel delivers exceptional rear wheel tracking and stability.
  • Removable CF die cast rear subframe is light and strong.
  • Dual 298mm front disc brakes with one-piece 4-piston calipers and 220mm rear disc brake with dual-piston caliper provide outstanding stopping power.
  • Super-light five-spoke 17" wheels reduce unsprung weight; the casting technique makes the rim section light, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.
  • 5-way adjustable front brake lever.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

  • Durable, lightweight, aluminum clip-on bars provide optimal vibration damping.
  • Narrow 4.5-gallon fuel tank provides excellent rider ergonomics and aggressive seating position.
  • Multi-function digital and analog instrumentation features: digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual tripmeters with odometer, upward-counting fuel reserve meter, water temp gauge and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals.
  • Programmable shift light.
  • Dual Gatling beam 60/55-watt multi-reflector headlight features a sleek profile for superb aerodynamics and visibility.
  • Dual LED taillight design reduces both weight and size while providing excellent visibility and a sleek profile.
  • Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.
