closes that gap. A new BS6 engine with a few extra cubic centimetres and variable valve timing has been

added to the list. Its peak power production has increased to around 18.3 bhp and its peak torque output has

increased to 14.1 Nm. Additionally, it has all-LED lighting and an all-digital LCD instrument cluster

that shows a variety of data, such as the precise moment the Variable Valve Actuation changes to a new

camshaft  profile. To keep costs down, the domestic model has standard telescopic forks while the

worldwide model includes  extras like upside-down forks. At least aesthetically, the pillion seat appears to

be positioned a little lower, which should help with some of the pillion issues. When viewed from behind,
