Features:  2011 Suzuki GSX-R750
  •   750cc 4-cylinder engine
  • The GSX-R750 is outfitted with a 750cc 4-cylinder engine with a race-proven oversquare bore/stroke ratio for efficient, high-revving output.   
  •     The GSX-R750 is equipped with a new 4-into-1 stainless-steel exhaust system featuring a titanium muffler, which carries a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve. The system maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid RPM range.
  •  Advanced, race-developed transistorized ignition control circuit helps maintain more precise ignition timing across the range of engine temperature.

 


Features: 2011 Yamaha R6
  • Ultra-compact, 600cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, slant block in-line four powerplant. This engine has been specially tuned for ease of riding with very linear power characteristics. It is loosely based on the FZ6 with revised cylinder head, crankcases, intake and exhaust systems plus a revised clutch and shifter assembly.
  • Automatic hydraulic-type cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical engine noise and maintenance.
  • "Inner push" type clutch release mechanism provides very light and smooth clutch lever action.
  • Shifter layout and design provides smooth, positive shifting

 



Features: 2011 Yamaha FZ6R
  • Ultra-compact, 600cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, slant block in-line four powerplant. This engine has been specially tuned for ease of riding with very linear power characteristics. It is loosely based on the FZ6 with revised cylinder head, crankcases, intake and exhaust systems plus a revised clutch and shifter assembly.
  • Lightweight hollow camshafts feature revised lift and duration profiles (Vs the FZ6) providing excellent torque in the low and mid rpm range and also helping to achieve linear throttle control. Fuel economy is also optimized.
  • A box section steel swingarm compliments the frame and aids in providing a light handling feel.

 



Features: 2011 Suzuki GSX 650F
