New for 2001

• New Candy Red color.
• New taller windscreen design provides additional rider protection.
• Redesigned instrument display features a large white-on-black-faced analog tachometer with 10,800 rpm redline, a large LCD digital speedometer, and LCD digital readouts for coolant temperature, fuel level, clock, odometer and A/B tripmeter. Indicator/warning lights include turn signals, high beam, neutral, oil pressure and fuel injection.

• Lightweight 1137cc liquid-cooled four cylinder engine with one-piece upper crankcase cylinder block.
• Side-mounted cam chain and ultra-narrow cylinder-sleeve spacing reduce engine size and weight.
• Unique gear-driven dual engine-balancer system nearly eliminates high-frequency engine vibration.
• Double overhead camshafts actuate valves using simple and direct cam-over bucket design.
• Four valves per cylinder with a narrow, 30-degree valve angle for a compact combustion chamber and optimum power output at all rpm levels.
• Ram-air system produces awesome power in mid- and upper-rpm operating range.
• Electronic CPU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for each cylinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for cylinder pairs, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb response.
• Unique knock-control sensor monitors ignition advance and improves mid-range performance.
• Slim-tipped NGK VX spark plugs offer high performance and minimal build-up for consistent operation.
• 360-degree exhaust collector, combined with EFI and ignition settings, provides stunning mid-range power.
• High-performance exhaust system features two 6.4-liter canister-style stainless steel mufflers polished to a satin finish.
• Seven-plate clutch design features tough friction plate material and excellent durability.
• Large-capacity aluminum radiator combines with high-efficiency oil cooler mounted directly beneath the steering head to help maintain optimum performance and long engine life.
• Oil-cooled alternator is powerful and compact.
• Automatic cam-chain tensioner.
• Six-speed close-ratio transmission.

• Twin-spar diamond-configuration aluminum frame offers light weight and high rigidity.
• Triple-box-section extruded aluminum spars are welded to a cast aluminum steering head and gravity die-cast aluminum pivot plates. The bolt-on seat rail is made of box-section steel.
• Triple-box-section extruded aluminum 40mm x 90mm swingarm offers exceptional rigidity.
• 43mm cartridge fork features the Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS") for smooth, progressive action.
• Wide forged aluminum triple-clamp offers fight weight and high rigidity.
• Pro-Link' rear suspension uses an HMAS rear damper and offers rebound damping and spring preload adjustability for a plush yet well-controlled ride.
• Ultra-wide, hollow-section, triple-spoke cast aluminum wheels carry wide-profile radial tires.
• Honda's third-generation Linked Braking System (LBS'") uses a second master cylinder and a proportional control valve to couple tile three-piston calipers of the dual-front and single-rear brake discs. Using either the handlebar lever or the foot pedal partially activates all three calipers, and the rider controls brake force distribution between the front and rear wheels depending on which control is used. As the rider increases braking force and weight transfers forward, the proportional control valve progressively shifts the balance of braking force in three steps toward the front wheel. A delay valve smoothes front brake engagement to minimize suspension (five when performing minor speed corrections using only the foot pedal.
• 310mm floating front-brake discs use stainless steel mounting pins. Rear brake disc measures 256mm.

• Extensive wind-tunnel testing results in an extraordinarily low overall frontal area and one of the lowest drag coefficients in motorcycling, while maintaining a high level of wind protection and rider coinfort. The drag coefficient (cg, a measurement combining drag and frontal area) of 0.00 155 surpasses figures for most machines in the 250cc class.
• The fairing features a very sharp nose, made possible by an innovative piggyback headlight design. The separate lowand high-beam units are each lighted by a powerful single-filament bulb, and the units are stacked, one on top of the other. The result is a narrow frontal aspect, with a very bright and extensive fight pattern made possible by advanced multi-curvature reflector design.
• The engine air-intake system consists of panels which isolate the system from the heat-producing radiator and engine area. Two large-capacity ram-air ducts feed air to the airbox and deliver it to the EFI system.
• The fairing has been designed to reduce the number of panels. Gas-assist injection technology is used to increase strength and lower weight.
• Specially designed front fender features indented ducts on the top front area, which create a wing-fike low-pressure zone on the upper surface. This aids steering and helps counter the wind's effect on the front wheel.
• Front turn signals utilize a multi-reflector design and are integrated with the rearview mirrors, achieving improved airflow characteristics.
• Large-capacity, 6.3-gallon fuel tank.
• LED fuel gauge in instrument panel.
• Lightweight and strong O-ring-sealed #530 drive chain.
• Underseat storage area designed to carry most U-type or cable locks. (Lock not included.)
• Tie-down bolts are provided at the sides of the seat and at the trailing edges of the passenger-peg mounting stays.
• Left-side seat cowl opening revas a frame-mounted handle to help lift the machine onto its centerstand.
• Injection-molded noon rear passenger grabrail is more comfortable to the touch than metal rails in chilly or hot weather.
• Convenient ignition switch/fork lock for added security.
• Transferable one-year, unlimitedmileage limited warranty.
• Ownership includes one-year complimentary Membership in the Honda Rider's Club of America. Benefits include discounts, travel benefits, roadside assistance, and much more. For HRCA details, call 1-800-847-HRCA.

• Tank pad.

California version differs slighly due to emissions equipment.
