In addition, the seating height can also be adjusted between 820 mm and 840 mm without using the tool.

The Honda Selectable Track Control (HSTC) comes with seven levels of intervention as well as an 'Off' option to drive off-road.

Another advanced technology on this bike is Wheelie Control which is offered at three levels. Level 1 is for motorists who prefer to save the life of their front tires by keeping the front wheels from touching the ground.

Then, Level 2 provides a slight lift and Level 3 prevents all types of front wheels from lifting.
