- Two-tone Metallic Silver/Red and Dark Orange/Black paint schemes
join Yellow/Black and feature Honda racing wing logo
Exclusive Features
- High-output engine features oversquare bore and stroke of 67mm
x 42.5mm with a straight intake tract contributing to superb power
throughout the rpm range
- Pro Frame(tm) consists of an aluminum twinspar frame and extruded
aluminum swingarm, with a combined swingarm pivot incorporating
both engine crankcase and frame-mounted pivot points
- Class-leading design and manufacturing processes result in a dry
weight of just 372.6 pounds.
Engine
- Liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve four-stroke engine utilizes latest
Honda design and manufacturing technologies for incredible mid-range
and top-end performance
- Inclined cylinder-head cover mating surface permits higher placement
of the intake camshaft for a straight intake tract providing improved
engine efficiency and power
- RC45(tm)-inspired aluminum composite cylinder sleeves are high-pressure-formed
from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite.
The lightweight composite sleeves provide better wear resistance
and superior heat dissipation than conventional sleeves
- Aluminum alloy pistons feature LUB-Coat solid lubricant to minimize
friction between the piston and cylinder wall
- Ram-air provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox, utilizing
a two-stage system that precisely balances air pressure within the
carburetor float and vacuum chambers with the air flowing through
their bores, providing sharp throttle response, linear power delivery
and incredible performance at all speeds.
- 36.5mm-bore carburetors offer a simple design for competition
tuning
- Four-into-two-into-one exhaust system feeds single high-output
polished stainless steel muffler for maximum power and efficiency
- Four transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate spark plug
cap and high tension lead to produce a high-voltage, long-duration
spark, providing maximum performance at high engine output levels
- Electronic ignition CPU provides digital 3-D mapping for Cylinder
pairs, creating ideal spark advance settings for all riding conditions
- Direct, shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm performance
and durability and offers 16,000-mile maintenance intervals
- Mechanical automatic cam-chain adjuster provides quiet, reliable
service. Seven-plate clutch utilizes a tough lining material to
maintain performance and durability
- Engine cooling system features a seriesflow pattern that reduces
piston crown and spark plug seat temperatures, resulting in increased
power
- Bearingless water pump is lightweight and features high-efficiency
design
- Round-type high-capacity liquid-cooled oil cooler contributes
to lightweight engine design
- Clutch cover integrates pulser cover and is lighter than traditional
designs
- Smooth-shifting close-ratio six-speed transmission features ratios
carefully matched to engine's power band.
Chassis/Suspension
- Aluminum twin-spar frame utilizes new casting technology processes
to create a strong frame with excellent rideability
- Pro Frame design locates the lightweight extruded aluminum box-section
swingarm via a combined pivot in both the frame and the rear of
the engine, producing superb handling and high-speed stability with
excellent control. Lightweight aluminum rear subframe section
- Rigid, 43mm HMAS(tm) front fork offers rebound, compression damping
and spring preload adjustability
- 40mm HMAS rear shock assembly utilizes Pro-Link(R) design with
external reservoir for plush feel and excellent, well-controlled
high-speed damping
- Twin front calipers feature four pistons each, with special nickel-plate
surface treatment to enhance lever feel under repeated hard braking
- Sintered brake pads and 296mm floating front discs provide ultimate
stopping power. Hydraulic rear disc brake features singlepiston
caliper and 220mm disc. Hollow three-spoke cast aluminum wheels
- Wide, 3.5-inch front wheel with 120/70ZR17 Z-rated front tire
