It is much more than just a plain looker and it is based on the Dragster street fighter. The RVS #1 comes strapped with an 800 cc inline three-cylinder engine which is good enough to produce a maximum power output of 150 horsepower at 12,800 rpm according to reports. Compared to the standard 800, it features several updated components squarely aimed at increasing the performance and handling.
For instance, the chain tensioner, starter motor, valve guides and camshafts have been revised while the lighter structure meant the RVS #1 weighs only around 160 kilograms. One of the highlight aspects about the motorcycle is its lighting system. It comprises of adaptive headlight with twin LED spotlights on the right side controlled by switches.
