Traditional air cooling is used, but this engine also has four-valve cylinder heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders, forged aluminum pistons, and fuel injection for spirited performance. A straightforward SOHC design is used, with special compact roller- type rocker arms, helps to keep the top end lighter for more mass centralization. There s more going on in the newly designed double-cradle steel frame than its decidedly clean, simple appearance.
