Re: Honda does it again with innovation (original thinking) and style.
[*]Completely new die cast aluminum frame utilizes new manufacturing methods to provide optimum rigidity while reducing weight.
[*]New Unit Pro-Link rear suspension system is patterned after RC211V GP racer. In this system, the upper shock mount is contained within the swingarm rather than the frame. With no top frame-mount for the shock, this unique system eliminates negative suspension energy from being transmitted into the frame, allowing optimum frame rigidity and improved rideability out of corners. Rear swingarm technology derived from RC211V Moto GP racer.
[*]All new liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 599cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features oversquare bore and stroke of 67mm x 42.5mm.
[*]New engine is more compact-engine length is now 236mm vs. 266mm-which helps move the rider forward 70mm.
[*]Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) system features two injectors per cylinder-one upper and one lower-controlled by an ECU that senses rpm and throttle opening. Lower injector enhances rideability while upper injector improves top-end horsepower. At lower rpm only the lower injector is working. Above 5500 rpm both injectors are activated. The system uses 40mm throttle bodies.
[*]New Denso injectors with 12 laser-drilled holes deliver a finely atomized fuel mixture for optimum combustion efficiency and power.
[*]Two-stage ram-air system provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.
[*]Cylinder head features angled valve inset to improve air flow.
[*]Cylinder head features two springs per intake valve and two springs per exhaust valve for optimum high-rpm valve operation and durability.
[*]Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm performance and durability and offers 16,000-mile maintenance intervals.
[*]New lighter pistons, piston pins and nutless connecting rods contribute to higher revving engine.
[*]New double-pivot cam-chain tensioner improves cam chain durability.
[*]Starter gears moved to the right side for increased lean angle.
[*]New lightweight aluminum oil cooler.
.
[*]New Line Beam Headlight features three- piece reflector design (first in the world) utilizing two H7 bulbs for optimum light distribution, and unique compact design.
Industry-leading ergonomic design features maximum rider comfort for minimum fatigue in all riding conditions.
Now guys tell which American bike has all this? Or Italian bike for under $10,000.? I think to make a bike like this for under 9 grand takes original thinking.
