What Is It?

Features include:

• Steel tubular frame with Aluminium single sided swingarm
• Dual 320 mm discs up front with Brembo M4 four piston calipers
• 245 mm disc at the rear with Brembo two piston caliper
• Adjustable 43 mm Showa upside down fork with 127 mm travel

Compared to the 749 it makes 26 bhp more power from a 100 cc larger Testastretta Evoluzione engine and weighs 20 kg less for a vastly improved power to weight ratio.

The 10-spoke 17" Marchesini wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and a 180/50 at the rear.

Colours: White, red

Testastretta is Italian for "narrow head".
