The bike comes standard with an anti-lock braking system and a regulated three-way catalytic converter. The chassis is constructed in three parts and consists of front and rear frame and a co-supporting ligands motor-gear unit. The suspension was formed on the front by a Telelever and the rear via a Paralever swingarm.

The fuel tank holds 25.2 litres (6.6 gallons), 6 litres (1.5 gallons) reserve. The average fuel consumption is 3.9 litres per 100 km (~60mpg) at a speed of 86 km/h (~55mph) or 4.7 litres (50mpg) at 120 km/h (75mph).
