This will help it get up to cruising speeds quickly and enable it to do so for long duration. Helping in the case is the 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. Standard ABS fitment does give this bike a touch of safety, while the 6.6-gallon fuel tank on this bike should see you go more than 200 miles between fuel stops.<\/p>\n
