Sporty Performance from a Horizontally Opposed 4-Cylinder 750cc VTEC Engine with Automatic Transmission
At the heart of the Griffon beats a horizontally opposed 4-cylinder 750cc power unit equipped with an automatic transmission and the next generation VTEC. This sophisticated power unit gives a low center of gravity and offers superior space utilization. In addition to a full-automatic mode, push-button shifting is also available for sportier riding performance.
Easy, Confident Stopping with an Advanced Braking System
The combination of a large-diameter, rim-mounted front disc brake and "Combined ABS"(ABS + Front/Rear-wheel-linked Combi Brake) makes it easy for even new riders to brake with confidence. For improved safety, a vehicle distance warning system is fitted. Mono-arm suspension is used at the front, and a Unit Pro-Link is used at the rear.
Featuring "Smart Key" and other Advanced Functions for Convenience & Easy Operability
The Smart Key. This allows you to start the engine without inserting and turning the key or to unlock the seat just by bringing the key near the machine. Because there is no key slot, tampering is prevented, and its electronic ID function helps prevent theft. The chronograph-style instrument panel shows a wide range of incrementally changing information in an integrated display. Want to know what's going on behind you? The CCD camera with rear-view monitor, which can also be switched to the navigation display, is of help here. Inside the front cowl is a stunning LED headlight. For improved comfort when riding two-up, the trunk space in the front cowl has room for two full-face helmets. A fold-up backrest is also fitted.
