Sharply designed with angular lines and wide front face. It has strong presence of its own. Balance in design makes it seem more aggressive than the way it rides. Raised clip-on handlebars fall right in place, while the footpegs are slightly rear-set.

Better-finished motorcycle. Lights up the streets with a distinctive full LED lighting system. It include a flatter cafe racer-style seat, an asymmetrical instrument cluster, and flat-track style side-mounted plates. Looking at the exhaust, it looks quite compact. It design play a significant role in attracting attention and creating a lasting impression.
