    1,802 cc – but no space for hot air

    Hardly any other bike offers this much displacement. You can see it, hear it and feel it. You can utilise over 15 Nm at any time between 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. For powerful indulgence and a consistently high torque developed in a typical boxer way. At 4,750 rpm, the powerful short engine generates 67 kW (91 hp). The exposed, nickel-plated Cardan shaft is a visual highlight of this engine.
