Ride your dreams
Style meets speed
DOHC twin-cylinder engine
Featuring a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, this mid-sized motorcycle strikes a perfect balance of power, torque, and agility.
Slipper clutch
The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch-lever effort by 30 percent compared to previous systems and reduces rear-wheel hop under aggressive deceleration.
Scrambler styling
This bike gets the scrambler-style look just right: high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels with wide rims, and a blacked-out engine and frame.
Two-up seat
Providing an open, unencumbered riding position, the seat is ideal for both commuting and touring while still allowing space for a passenger.
Embrace the thrill
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)
The PGM-FI system monitors various variables to ensure optimal fuel mixture for improved throttle response in different riding conditions.
Anti-Lock Braking System
Our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) comes standard, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.
Exhaust
We equipped it with a unique scrambler-style exhaust featuring an upswept design and a twin-outlet muffler that produces an amazing sound.
Pro-Link® rear suspension
Pro-Link® rear suspension and a shock with nine-position adjustable spring preload and large-diameter internals provide nimble handling and a smooth ride.
Steel-tube frame
The mainframe, made of diamond-shaped steel tubes, provides a solid base for the engine with four mounts, ensuring a smooth and stable ride.
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.
Slipper clutch
The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch-lever effort by 30 percent compared to previous systems and reduces rear-wheel hop under aggressive deceleration.
Scrambler styling
This bike gets the scrambler-style look just right: high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels with wide rims, and a blacked-out engine and frame.
Digital instrumentation
An easy-to-read LCD screen displays a digital speedometer, tachometer, clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption, and engine diagnostic indicators.
LED lighting
With an unpolished, utilitarian appearance, the LED light and multi-faceted reflector produce ample illumination for enhanced visibility on the road.
