Despite the name, power actually comes from a 478 cc single-cylinder engine connected to a six-speed transmission. A four-stroke unit, it features twin cams, four valves and Keihin digital fuel injection.
The suspension set up includes a rear Sachs damper which is adjustable for pre-load, rebound and compression and gives 290 mm of travel. Up front is a pair of 50 mm Marzocchi upside-down forks, offering 250 mm of travel. Braking is taken care of by Brembo floating discs.
In the UK the SMR511 will cost £7,299, excluding first registration fee and road tax. It’s due in dealers this month.
