Engine
• Beautifully chromed and polished 649cc (40-cubic-inch), air-cooled, SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, 70 degree, V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power for smooth cruising performance. Maximum torque occurs at a low 3,000 rpm.
• This engine has been designed to produce strong torque and horsepower in the most usable riding range (50 to 120 km/hr).
• Twin Mikuni BDS28 carbs with throttle position sensors (TPS) provide crisp throttle response.
• Wide-ratio, 5-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery. 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for a smooth, comfortable ride.

• Light clutch action is perfect for novice riders.
• Transistor controlled ignition (TCI) means sure starts and excellent engine performance. It is a no-maintenance design.
• Classic, side-mounted air cleaner not only adds to styling but also is easy to service the air filter.
• Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
• Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, clean, reliable performance with no chain adjustments or messy lube splatter.
• 2-into-2 chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling while delivering strong low- and mid-range engine power. The conversion to aftermarket mufflers is fast and simple.
• Heel-toe shifter reinforces that classic image.
• Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.
• Lots of chrome engine parts highlight quality and value.


SUSPENSION
• Stout, large-diameter, double-cradle steel frame is designed to provide a low seat height with ample rider legroom.
• Long 1,625mm (64") wheelbase provides a stable ride and predictable handling while creating that long and low retro look.
• Beefy, 41mm front fork offers 140mm (5.5") of wheel travel to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride.
• Chromed fork shrouds, top triple clamp, and one-piece handlebar holder highlight the show attention to detail.
• 7-step, spring preload-adjustable, single-shock rear suspension allows the rider to tailor spring settings to match load or road conditions. Rear wheel travel is 98mm (3.9").
• Rear shock is mounted under the engine for that classic, hardtail look. By positioning the shock low in the chassis, it lowers the centre of gravity for a light, easy-to-maneuver feel.
• Single 298mm front disc brake with twin piston caliper delivers strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
• Easy-to-adjust rear drum brake with wear indicator
• Plushly padded, low-profile rider and passenger seats provide exceptional rider comfort. The low 710mm (27.9") seat height allows most riders to put feet firmly on the ground for extra confidence.

• Wide retro-style handlebars evoke a classic design. Extra wide levers provide a quality look and feel.
• Wide front and rear tires fitted to spoked, chrome wheels combine retro styling with solid handling and traction.
• Deeply valanced steel front and rear fenders are both durable and unmistakably classic. Their steel design means they are easy to customize and paint.

• Beautiful, tank-mounted speedometer features an odometer and tripmeter displays.
