Re: re:89 PC (New to Me)

NT700 has more beans, these are the kind of figures I recall:
The NT700V's 52° V-twin was upgraded to a four-valve fuel injected 680cc configuration in 2006 and claimed a 10 hp boost to 65 hp. It continues to use a five-speed transmission that has fairly tight overall gearing to give sufficient performance for its 586 lb. wet weight. Gas mileage is good, averaging 46.4 mpg. The integrated tipover protector "wings" are a great idea.

EFI and higher CR than the PC but no hydraulic valves and not rubber isolated engine mounting make it seem a bit harsher/nosier.
