Paton celebrates its 60th birthday this year. An anniversary that the little Italian manufacturer is celebrating beautifully with this sublime S1R.
Celebrated on the sporting front by Michael Dunlop's TT victory in the Lightweight category (twins less than or equal to 650cc), Paton's birthday is enjoying a commercial extension with the launch of the S1R, a road sportsman closely derived from the Northern Irish pilot machine and shipping like this one a ... Kawasaki ER-6 ordinary twin-cylinder (about 80 hp crankshaft). The rest of the machine gives it a lot more in the high-end (chrome molybdenum lattice frame, Öhlins suspensions, Brembo M50 brakes, SC Project titanium silencer) and allows the latter to point under 160 kg all full facts. Side tariff, it does not reach, alas, this lightness since this Paton S1R is exchanged against some 29 000 €.
