 Engine
  1,552cc provides abundant low- and mid-rpm power
  Polished valve covers and cooling fins enhance the bright, sporty image
 Liquid Cooling
  Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power during hard use
  Auxiliary fan keeps things cool, even in traffic
 Four Valves per Cylinder
  Compact combustion chamber for increased compression ratio without detonation on minimum 90-octane fuel
  Boosts low-end torque and provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
 Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters
  Keeps valves quiet with no maintenance, and no adjustment is required
 Digital Fuel Injection
  Provides excellent engine response and power with less fuel consumption
  Two different systems are switched and used automatically according to engine load for accurate fuel-injection control
  Compact electronic control unit processes information faster for better engine response
 Dual Throttle Bodies
  Dual 40mm throttle bodies use one injector for each cylinder
  Separate intake tract for each throttle body provides smoother engine operation
  Four nozzles at the tip of each injector, with two nozzles aimed at each intake valve
 Dual Plug Digital Ignition
  Microprocessor-controlled timing seldom needs adjustment
  Two spark plugs in each combustion chamber cut detonation for added durability
 Gear-Driven Engine Balancer
  Counter-rotates at engine speed to cancel vibration
  Allows use of single-pin crankshaft without heavy vibration
 Rubber-Mounted Engine
  All but eliminates engine vibration at all speeds
 Close-Ratio Five-Speed Transmission With Positive Neutral Finder
  Combines great around-town acceleration with relaxed highway cruising
  Positive neutral finder helps ensure riders can find neutral easily, every time
 Shaft Drive
  Reliable, quiet, low-maintenance system
 Hydraulic Clutch Release
  Easy to operate and maintain
 Suspension
  43mm inverted fork designed specifically for the Mean Streak
  Swingarm cross bar utilizes two square tubes instead of monocoque design for improved torsional rigidity
 Fuel Tank
  Clean, seamless design boasts a full 4.5-gallon capacity
 Large-Diameter Reflector Beam Headlight
  Bright, focused beam to light the way
 17-inch Aluminum Wheels With Radial Tires
  Radial tires front and rear on 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels make a performance statement
