 As such, the 748R has a larger, two-part airbox and thus the frame was also different in order to accommodate this.The suspension choice was Ohlins for both the rear shock and front forks, although the very first models in 2000 used Showa titanium nitride (TiN) front forks and a Showa shock absorber.The engine included a very basic slipper clutch to ensure that this would then be homologated for use in racing, as well as an oil cooler.
