- The first fuel injection production dirt bike.
- Aluminum frame construction.
- Electric start only, lightweight, minus the kickstarter and it's hardware.
- Ohlins suspension which is a huge leap forward in valving, hardware in general throughout, serviceability and tunability.
- The engine has it's own crank case oil separate from the transmission.
- Link-less rear suspension which is lightweight but never came to have better performance than the full link rear setup.

Ride 'em, don't hide 'em.
Sounds like $2400 was a steal.
