Air-cooled single-cylinder dual-sport for commuting and light trail use, with a five-speed gearbox, electric start and long-travel suspension on a lightweight steel frame. Around this time it moved from carburettor to Mikuni throttle-body fuel injection, with an air-injection system for emissions. Low seat and gentle power make it a beginner-friendly trail bike.
