The camouflaged test mule sports a single pod instrument cluster, which could be digital. The display on the fuel tank is digital as well, with minor design changes. The fuel tap can be seen below the tank, indicating the presence of a carburettor. The headlamp could feature an LED DRL to keep things interesting. The seating appears to be slightly revised, and the design of the grab rail with back rest seem to be the same as the existing bike. The tail light nacelle appears to be slightly different and is likely to be an LED unit. The front and rear indicators are of bulb type, though.
