The liquid-cooled engine in the BN600i has 38mm throttle bodies, and is hooked up to a six-speed manual gearbox via a wet clutch. The bike's innards are held together by an upper steel trellis and lower aluminium plate frame
Suspension for the bike comprises 50mm upside-down forks and basic rear shock mounted to the right of the frame, while 320mm radial front brakes are clamped by four-pot calipers.
