GT650 Engine
This compact water cooled 90 degree v twin, DOHC 8 valve engine
incorporates the latest technology and produces 79 horsepower
(approx 70 rear wheel horse power). Designed in Hamamatsu, Japan,
it sets a new benchmark in V-twin performance. It has dual Mikuni
downdraft carburetors, low restriction stainless steel exhaust,
environmentally friendly secondary air intake system, which meets
all world standards, including euro 2.
GT650 Various
Dual lateral oval bar frame is designed to reduce weight and
allow the engine to be carried lower to provide cornering agility
comparable to European sports bikes. Upside down forks compliment
the chassis to give nimble handling and safer road holding. The
radiator is mounted high to avoid stone damage, and is fitted with
automatic thermo fan for heavy traffic situations.
GT650 Brakes
Twin front discs and dual twin piston fully floating brake
calipers provide incredible stopping power. Fit racing pads and you
are ready for the race track! Upside down forks have compression
and rebound adjustment, and the rear shock is charged for
suspension sophistication not normally available in this price
range.
GT650 Instruments
A large 17 litre fuel tank ensures long touring range.
Traditional naked sports bike styling and simple ergonomics with
easy to read gauges (including temperature gauge and fuel warning
lamps), make the comet an easy bike to ride. Wide angle mirrors are
fitted to give ample rear vision.
GT650 Headlight
A unique multi focus headlamp was designed in late 2002 to
provide long distance light projection for the rider to see as far
ahead as possible. It is the latest in headlamp design technology
and is fitted with a shatter resistant lens and a H4 60/55watt
globe.
GT650 Rear Seat
The comet GT650 also has convenience features such as pillion
seat and heavy duty tie down rails for all your gear for those long
trips. The rider's seat is firm in design to provide good support
and reduce fatigue. The comet series all incorporate key lock
storage compartment under the pillion seat (see GT250 page). Items
such as wet weather gear, maps, lunch etc can be stored here, as
well as locking helmet security (depending on helmet design).
