The bike featured a twin-pipe perimeter frame that offered balanced rigidity and wrapped in a stylish sportbike bodywork that provided excellent engine-heat dissipation and looks similar to Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-14R flagship model.
The two-piece seat assembly was made of thick and wide foam that offered optimum comfort for the rider and passenger but with a narrower design at the front that didn't interfere with the rider's reach to the ground.
As for power, the 649cc fuel-injected engine was the most compact unit in its category that allowed the use of a slim perimeter frame and delivered a smooth and responsive performance in the low-mid rpm range.
