- All plastic body components (radiator shroud, sidecovers, rear fender, seat base, fuel tank, front fender and front number plate) offer a slim, aggressive style and light weight.

- Frame design allows airbox sidecovers to have larger intake ducts, contributing to significant airflow in the mid- and upper-rpm ranges.

- Rider ergonomics are optimised by adapting the handlebar, seat and footpeg height to place the rider's legs at the narrowest cross-section of the frame for improved comfort and handling.

- Seat cushion uses foam construction that follows the shape of the fuel tank, providing a smooth transition to increase rider mobility and comfort.

- "Non-slip" seat cover for increased rider control.

- 742FA front and 756 rear tyres for improved traction and cornering.

- Cleated rear brake pedal and folding shift lever are made of lightweight aluminium and are designed to complement the riding position. Brake pedal features optimised ratio to match integrated rear-brake master-cylinder design.

- Wide, cleated, stainless steel footpegs are self-cleaning, resist corrosion, provide excellent grip and fold for extra ground clearance.

- Aluminium Renthal handlebar (971 bend) is rubber-mounted to reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort.
