Engine:

  • Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649 cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm-maximum torque is reached at only 3,000 rpm-for powerful, smooth cruising performance.

Key Features:

  • Retro style is even cooler when it’s combined with modern engineering, including an SOHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive.
