C-01 form characterized by a low and long designed car body. A cowl with a tank / body integral forms an impressive silhouette. Looking at the low forced front fork and the long front and rear wheel bases, it is imagined that the setting waved to straight performance rather than cornering. Front forkCaster angleIt is 36 degrees and it is greatly exceeding 24 degrees of ordinary sports bike.


A rear wheel swing arm that looks short to be inversely proportional to other unexpectedly long body parts. It is the point that two rear suspensions extending from just under the seat remind me of a nostalgic racing bike.


A gold line to a black body of a carbon fiber pattern protruding on a cowl which draws a gentle curve"JPS color" of former yearsIt is reminiscent of.


A shot with a good understanding of the low-profile shape. An inverted type front fork fitted with a fairing can be felt very powerfully. The tire has 19 inches at the front, 17 inches at the rear and one with different diameters in the front and back.
