Introduced at the end of 1996,[2] the bike uses an air/oil-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine available in the only displacement of 644 cm³.[3] The engine is powered by Mikuni BSR32 Ø 32 carburettors assisted by a transistor electronic ignition system with 2 "twin spark" spark plugs, with SOHC distribution with 4 chain-operated valves per cylinder and equipped with a balancing shaft with wet sump lubrication.
Primary transmission is via gears and a mechanically operated wet multi-plate clutch, assisted by a five-speed gearbox. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via chain.
The frame is of the double cradle type in steel with a square section. The front telescopic fork has a travel of 170mm. The rear suspension consists of a steel section swingarm with a travel of 167 mm.
The instrument panel consists of a multifunction digital display which shows the speedometer, tachometer with bar graph and the fuel gauge.
