Features May Include:

DOHC twin-cylinder engine

• With a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, this mid-sized motorcycle strikes an ideal balance of power, torque, and agility.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

• Our PGM-FI system monitors a range of inputs to ensure an optimal fuel mixture, delivering precise throttle response in all riding conditions.

Disc brakes

• A large 310mm hydraulic front disc is gripped by a precision-engineered two-piston caliper, providing strong and predictable stopping power. The adjustable front brake lever ensures a perfect fit.

Anti-Lock Braking System

• The standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps you make smoother, more controlled stops in less-than-ideal riding conditions.

Pro-Link® rear suspension

• Pro-Link® rear suspension connects to an adjustable spring-preload shock with large-diameter internals to provide nimble handling and a smooth ride.

Steel-tube frame

Multi-spoke cast wheels

• Lightweight, multi-spoke cast aluminum wheels are stylish, easy to clean, and improve handling.

Smooth transmission

• Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.

High-mount exhaust

• A unique scrambler-style exhaust, featuring an upswept design and a twin-outlet muffler, looks the part and sounds it, too.

Slipper clutch

Scrambler styling

• This bike nails the scrambler-style look with a high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels featuring wide rims, along with a blacked-out engine and frame.

Two-up seat

Digital instrumentation

LED lighting
