Meet the motorcycle
Two versions in one touring family can answer different journeys. The useful comparison starts with how much time you spend on asphalt, how often the last kilometres are gravel, and the load you carry. A more capable display helps organisation; it does not decide which tyres, seat and chassis will suit a long day.
The 2027 announcement confirms a new 7-inch TFT, navigation and graphics. The April 2025 Euro5+ platform facts below remain dated background, not a claim that every 2027 component is unchanged. Photos of the earlier UK models are explicitly identified as platform references.

Manufacturer figures for the market stated above. Dry, wet and no-fuel weights use different definitions and should not be compared directly.
The changes, explained.
Read the navigation update accurately
The family gains a larger TFT and navigation functions.
How it works
A display can present map or turn information, while the data source and phone connection determine what remains available offline.
What it means on a ride
Check route importing, glove operation and charging during a normal travel day.
The consideration · Navigation support does not guarantee downloadable maps, GPX compatibility or free lifetime service.
Two wheel approaches in one family
Earlier versions use different front-wheel sizes.
How it works
Radius, tyre selection and steering geometry influence the balance between road feel and obstacle response.
What it means on a ride
Choose against the roughest section you realistically intend to ride, then assess the much longer paved part.
The consideration · The 2027 final wheel and tyre details need confirmation before carrying over the old comparison.
Heat and wind protection are practical questions
Earlier Euro5+ equipment improved cold-weather comfort.
How it works
Warm hands support dexterity, but airflow around a helmet depends on rider dimensions and screen position.
What it means on a ride
Verify what remains standard in 2027 and try it with the clothing you use on trips.
The consideration · Previous-year equipment must not be advertised as a new 2027 addition without evidence.
Where the top box sits matters
The earlier update revised the rear rack.
How it works
A load placed farther behind the rear axle has a larger leverage effect on front-to-rear distribution.
What it means on a ride
Keep dense items forward and low and confirm passenger back room.
The consideration · A visually shorter rack is not an increased load rating.
A mature platform still needs a current sheet
The current notice is an equipment update.
How it works
An unchanged item and an unmentioned item are not the same: silence does not prove a mechanical carry-over.
What it means on a ride
Request the model-year sheet, service plan and a complete price including luggage.
The consideration · Do not copy another market’s engine figures or registration category into a local purchase.
A closer look at the hardware
Long journeys, different surfaces
Road touring
Evaluate wind noise, seat pressure and daily service needs with your intended load.
Gravel access
Verify the chosen version’s tyres and repair tools, and keep a conservative line.
Wet city surfaces
Avoid sudden steering over paint and metal covers. A new screen cannot change available tyre grip.
Passenger touring
Confirm preload, payload and luggage clearances on the final bike.
Navigation away from coverage
Test the actual navigation setup without mobile data before depending on it in a remote region.
Price & budget
Published prices are identified by country. Where a tariff has not been confirmed, no numerical estimate is substituted for a manufacturer price.
| Market / status | Price |
|---|---|
| Europe · official price | Not announced in the reviewed release |
| Mainland China · official price | Launch and price not confirmed |
Check the delivered-market specification and a written quotation including registration, delivery and accessories. Prices in one country do not establish availability or a converted retail price in another.
Where it fits
Choose a 702 version by route and fit, then judge whether the new navigation improves your routine. The 2027 update is worth covering without inventing a new engine or chassis.
