yes and no, the arica twin is a bored out version of the orginal NT 650 engine, as they can only be bored out to 690 in that spec, change the head, and put the close ration gearbox on it and you have a monster

Good boy.I fear for my life if I get a bike.

Was bad on crossers, even worse on my quad.

I dread to think.
