Apart from the introduction of new colour options, no other change has been done to the bikes. Both the bike carry over the familiar exterior design with bits such as twin-pod headlight, split-style seats, rear tyre-hugger-mounted numberplate and turn indicators, bar-end mirrors, a muscular fuel tank, single-sided swingarm, and wide-profile tyres. The higher-spec ‘GT’ version is further amped up with touring-focussed factory mounted accessories such as a flyscreen and pillion backrest.
