Above these lights is a larger windscreen, which has been increased in size compared to the outgoing model.
Also, the mudguard is in a beak style, very typical of an off-road bike, and the handlebars are notably larger. As for the screen, the 5-inch TFT display remains the same, and it comes with all the connectivity features, and rides modes, traction control mode and to engage the cornering ABS.
The rear end of this bike, also known as the tail section, looks sharp in the photos, which is a significant upgrade from the outgoing model. The tail light has also been slimmed down.
