449cc liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke with five valves features 95mm
bore and 63.4mm stroke for massive power with high over-rev capacity and
crisp, linear throttle response.• A large 42mm Mikuni® BSR carburetor delivers precise fuel/air mixing and crisp throttle response with low throttle lever effort.
