It is a water cooled 1100cc V4 engine with 116hp and 72ftlb of torque, shaft driven 6 speed transmission, anti-dive front suspension with air adjust, the rear suspension infinite steping for compression/rebound/dampening, the shaft drive is quiet/clean and maintenance virtually maintenance free, handlebars are adjustable up and down as well as forward and back, self canceling turn signals and hydraulic clutch. It was quite similar to the V65 Sabre.
