Flat, drag-style handlebars and bobbed fender evoke a look that’s both sporty and stylish.
Long, 63.4-inch wheelbase adds to rider comfort and stable, predictable handling and creates a long and low retro look.
Large, plushly padded, low-profile seat provides exceptional rider comfort, while low, 27.4-inch seat height allows rider to put feet down for extra confidence at stoplights.
