The ModernMachine

A dual-purpose machine intended for everything from off-road sport riding to touring and town use. A newly developed 398 cc liquid-cooled four-stroke DOHC 4-valve single sat in a split semi-double-cradle frame, for a dry weight of 129 kg, with adjustable suspension front and rear.

A maxi-scooter introduced in 2001, powered by a liquid-cooled 499 cm³ DOHC parallel twin driving through a V-belt CVT. Early models used a tubular steel frame. Specifications listed are for the 2001–2003 model years.

A 50 cc scooter pared down for short trips such as commuting, school runs and shopping. Built in Japan, it sold for 59,800 yen and weighed just 39 kg dry. Its newly developed air-cooled four-stroke OHV single used a high-speed plated cylinder, among other measures, to cut engine weight by 40 percent.

An export model introduced as a middleweight sport-adventure tourer. A 645 cc liquid-cooled 90-degree DOHC 4-valve V-twin sat in an aluminium twin-spar frame, with a 22-litre tank, a standard rear carrier, a screen adjustable to three heights and an 820 mm seat.
