- Smooth and reliable
- Gear-driven balancer allows use of single-pin crankshaft without excessive vibration
Comfort Features
- Seat features good lumbar support for the rider and a wider and longer rear section for passenger comfort
- Ultra-low 26.8" seat height allows riders to easily plant both feet on the ground at stops

Custom Spoke Wheels
- Chromed steel rims and spokes
- “Spool-style” polished aluminum front hub
Double Cradle Frame
- Very rigid large-diameter box section backbone allows a larger fuel tank, and helps contribute to lightweight handling at low speeds
- Triangular swingarm looks like a hardtail design, but acts on a single shock hidden beneath the seat
- Long and low for minimal seat height and maximum visual impact
- Fork offset and frame geometry combine for light, low-effort handling at ultra-low speeds
- Long wheelbase contributes to a comfortable highway ride
Dual Slash-Cut Mufflers
- Big slash-cut mufflers look great and contain honeycomb catalyzers to reduce emissions
Electronic Fuel Injection
- Dual throttle bodies with sub-throttle valves provide optimum performance and rideability
- The sub-throttle valves, located behind the main throttle valve, are controlled by the ECU so that the DFI® system retains more precise throttle response
- Fine-atomizing injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better acceleration, combustion and fuel consumption
Four-Valve Cylinder Heads
- Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow, resulting in more power and more low-end torque
- Single overhead camshaft design is simple, lightweight and practical
- Extremely efficient intake tracts feature ports that narrow near the combustion chamber to increase intake flow speed for more efficient filling and increased torque
- Long intake tracts for great low-end response
Front and Rear Disc Breaks
- The 300mm front and 270mm rear brake discs are gripped by twin-piston calipers for strong stopping power when you need it
Kevlar-Reinforced Belt Drive
- Lower unsprung weight than shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action
- More efficient so more power reaches the rear wheel compared to shaft drive
- Cleaner and lower maintenance than chain drive
Key Features
- 903cc V-twin engine provides an optimal balance of performance and manageability in a stylish package
- Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) delivers precise throttle control with improved fuel economy
