Electronics

The XE has off road pro. Looks like abs and traction control can be turned off completely

Dam I like the look of this machine

really beautiful piece of machinery

two things that I find interesting:
1) parallel twin motor with 270deg crank, seems to be all the rage these days

2) why make it a 1200 if you only want 66kW out of it (not sure how they get that little out of a modern 1200) why not go for a smaller capacity and keep the same output?

Okay then.

This way you get a totally unstressed engine that could give you lots of miles. Also docile because of low compression ratios.

Don’t forget the 110nm. Will ride like a dream. Stick it in top gear and cruise through everything
