A power surge like a mad crazy bronco rider would feel in straight motion. Immense torque at 3200 rpm (around 169Nm compared to 18Nm of the Karizma). Top whack I touched was around 200 kph and it kept on pulling strongly even then. Wind factor is a problem at those speeds because of an upright seating posture. Needle goes up to 240 kph.
U can point and shoot this bike bcoz of its design. It has many similarities in components with the Suzuki GS X series of bikes. GSX1300R aka Hayabusa. The pistons pump up & down almost 7500 times in a min.
Weighs around 340 kilos when dry. But nimble once you get used to it. Can smoke almost 99.99% of the vehicles on Indian streets.
