Long distance can hardly be another term that has always been the concept of the bike perfectly designed from start to finish: the wind and the excellent weather protection, ergonomics, ease of use, in conjunction with a high range of optional extras only CSA and ESA II *. In the segment of the track, probably these characteristics define the ultimate reference of innovation.

The characteristic "Boxer" superiority was strengthened in the current version: the engine is the crowning is now the radial valve DOHC ** operating system of the HP2 Sport, but here are designed for higher torque and no loss of time calm: a maximum torque of 120 Nm at 6000 rpm, rated power remains at 81 kW (110 hp). This means a tangible increase in the pressure of the low speed range with the middle range. The new control valve in the exhaust system provides a discreet, but more dynamic.
And in terms of comfort, the bike has a new optional audio system with the innovative concept of multi-use controller handle nearly all orders for a single unit. So there's one thing you have to do it yourself - falling for a test ride.
