SPECIFICATIONS DISPLACEMENT - 999cm3 BORE x STROKE - 100 x 63.6mm CARBURATION - Electronic Fuel Injection MAX POWER - Over 136ps / 9500rpm TRANSMISSION - 6 speed WHEELBASE - 1409mm SEAT HEIGHT - 813mm FUEL CAPACITY - 18 litres (incl. 2.5 litre reserve) TYRES - FRONT - 120/70 ZR17 REAR - 190/50 ZR17 DRY WEIGHT - Under 200kg NEW FEATURES Remarkable new direct air induction system feeds straight from nose of fairing through massive hollow steering head casting and directly into aircleaner box for maximum intake efficiency. FRP intake port built strong enough to act as sole upper cowl stay. Intake port features electrically operated valve to reduce air intake at lower speeds for stronger low-to-midrange performance. Valve opens at a predetermined engine speed and throttle angle to provide optimal air intake for maximised high-speed performance. Large-volume 18-litre fuel tank features built-in electronic fuel pump to provide steady flow of fuel to injectors. High-performance engine designed to use high-octane fuel ONLY. Newly designed V-twin engine features over 90% all-new parts, larger bore, shorter stroke and new cam geartrain for higher speeds and dramatically increased, competition-ready power output. New 100mm pistons (replacing VTR1000F’s 98mm units) the largest ever made by Honda. New 63.6mm stroke reduced from VTR’s 66mm while achieving big 10.8 : 1 compression ratio. Pistons ride in new aluminium ceramic composite sleeves, like RVF/RC45 and other high-performance engines. New PGM-FI fuel injector system features dual-injector throttle bodies mounted with quad-jet injector nozzles and higher pressure fuel pump feed for optimum atomisation and distribution of fuel into intake flow. Higher-capacity dual side-mounted radiators meet cooling requirements of higher-power engine with 120% larger volume than units mounted on VTR1000F. All-new aluminium ‘Combined Pivot’ frame features massive triple-box-section twin spars and longer lower extensions that enclose ends of swingarm pivot shaft to provide enhanced rigidity in both road and racing applications. Frame features innovative new cast aluminium steering head casting with large hole in front to open directly channel air to aircleaner for maximised high-speed power potential. Section surrounding steering stem moulded in aerodynamic tapered shape to minimise turbulence in air flow. Responsive 43mm inverted telescopic front fork breaks with Honda tradition. Yagura-style Hybrid swingarm features massive dual-box-section extruded spars mated to large cast aluminium cross-member pivot section. Rear suspension features full damping adjustability for smoothly progressive control. COLOUR - Winning Red |
