The different ride modes not only affect the suspension, but the engine as well.

In Sport, it gets tight suspension & the full 150 horses. (Watch out...)

In Urban, it gets med suspension & only allows 100 hp.

In Tour, it gives the full 150, but dials back on the torque & gives the cushiest suspension possible.

In Enduro (Now there's a term that's a blast from my past!), it only offers 100 ponies, but gives full torque, cranks up the suspension, as well as allowing you to turn off the ABS & the traction control.

If it works, it's genius. If not ... well, the big problem w/ Ducs has always been the cost of maintenance. I can only imagine how much coin it'll cost to have this thing towed/repaired from the middle of nowhere ....

Check out the video presentation here.

Shit. Sounds like an interesting ride for sure.

I'll take one in Touring mode please!

I ride a Busa for crying out loud. Ugly doesn't bother me. If it does what I want it to do, I'll ride it!
