Compared to the 2018-2021 model there's heated grips as standard, a larger all TFT dash, a new rear shock, new LED headlight, vehicle hold assist, keyless start, emergency braking flashing of the brake light, USB port under the seat, self-healing paint and peak torque arrives 1,000 rpm lower down the range however the exhaust has grown into a monster and it's 7 kg heavier.

It's also keeping up with the competition with 3-level radar powered adaptive cruise control, collision warning, rear blind spot detection with alerts displayed in the mirrors and the latest Brembo Stylema front calipers.

The 17" wheels take a Bridgestone S21 120/70 tyre at the front and a 190/55 at the rear.
