REVIEW:
The long and low lines make it look like a hardtail, but under the huge and sculpted saddle there is a complaint rear suspension, matched at the front by 41mm inverted forks. Chromed headlight, chromed air cover, chromed exhaust system - lashings of the bright stuff. And that is matched by the black 805cc 45-degree V-twin engine with liquid-cooling and fuel injection - all the modern counterparts you want to balance the traditional amounts of torque. The five-speed transmission - with that much torque you don’t need six - gets its final drive to the rear wheel via a neat and clean shaft drive.
