In 2003 a new fuel-injected Desmo L-Twin, 88 mm x 66 mm, 803 cc engine, and a new six-speed gearbox were offered in the Supersport 800. It featured an aluminium swingarm and an alloy clutch basket and discs. The two-valve per cylinder engine produced 74.5 hp @ 8250 rpm, and 70 N·m (7.1 kgf·m) @ 6250 rpm. There was a choice of half fairing or full fairing versions.[1]

Front forks are Marzocchi 43 mm upside-down units, and at the rear is a fully adjustable Sachs shock.
