Engine:
" 1,063cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, 75° V-twin produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque - maximum torque is reached at only 2,500 rpm - for exceptional overall cruising performance.
" Forged, lightweight pistons provide excellent durability while reducing reciprocating mass for fast throttle response." Ceramic composite cylinder plating ensures superior heat dissipation for better cooling, less friction and longer engine life.
" Thick cylinder cooling fins enhance the stylish look while increasing cooling efficiency and reducing mechanical noise.
" Dual Mikuni BSR 37mm carburetors with throttle position sensors feature carburetor heaters and handy, side-mounted air filter to ensure consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev range.
" Transistorized coil ignition provides a hot spark for sure starts and is maintenance-free.
" Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
" One-way, cam clutch-type starter decreases mechanical noise during starting.
" Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission is well suited to both city and highway use. 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for a smooth comfortable ride.
" Classic heel-toe shifter is a throwback to yesteryear.
" Low-maintenance, chrome, exposed shaft drive delivers superior reliability and a clean, quiet ride. No chain to adjust or lube.
" 2-into-2 exhaust system with dual shotgun-style, staggered pipes plays outstanding V-twin music. Replacement with aftermarket mufflers is simple.
" Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.
" Numerous chromed engine parts reinforce this motorcycle's quality image.
Chassis/Suspension
" Low-slung, large-diameter, double-cradle steel frame creates a strong, stylish machine with precise, predictable handling.
" Long, 1,645mm (64.8") wheelbase means a long and low retro profile, with spacious ergonomics for added rider comfort and solid, stable handling.
" Beefy, 41mm front fork with 140mm (5.5") of wheel travel smoothes out the bumps for excellent ride quality.
" Fork shrouds, top triple clamp, and one-piece handlebar holder are chromed for a quality appearance.
" Preload-adjustable, single rear shock lowers centre of gravity for better handling and a plush ride. There are 9 preload adjustments that allow the rider to tailor spring settings to match load and road conditions.
" Rear shock is tucked out of sight for that classic, hardtail look. Rear wheel travel is 113mm (4.5").
" Low 710mm (28") seat height enhances maneuverability and provides additional rider confidence by allowing most riders to put their feet flat on the ground.
" Dual 298mm front disc brakes with twin piston calipers provide strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
" 282mm rear disc brake with opposed piston caliper
" Comfortably placed, full-size rider floorboards enhance ride by minimizing vibration and fatigue.
" Wide tires on beautiful spoked, chrome wheels help create that Classic look.
" Wide handlebars enhance both overall ergonomics and retro styling.
" Thickly padded, low-profile rider seat and passenger pillion offer excellent rider comfort. Passenger seat is removable.
