California Aluminum --An
agreesive, lean and mean powercruiser with the legendary, updated 90º V-Twin
with hydraulic self-adjusting valves. Brembo Gold Series brakes. Integral
braking system. A custom luminescent aluminum lustre finish makes it the
center of attention at every stop.
Rapid reflections
As the countryside flashes past it reflects
for a fleeting moment in the shiny aluminium finish of this new generation
of California... The name “Aluminium” reflects the modern design of a
motorcycle that combines a sporting soul with the traditional Californian
passion for the open road. The tank, side panels, alternator covers and
cradle covers are finished in bright aluminium to reflect the bike’s
aggressively individualist design.
The handlebars also highlight the Aluminium’s
sports temperament. Their decisive, true-grit style features a long straight
central section and thick mounting bars . The side panels, more slender and
aerodynamic than on other California models, also bring out the bike’s true
mettle, as does the eye-catching, compact front mudguard. In contrast, the
bike’s natural riding position and its pounding 90° V-Twin heart, with
hydraulic tappets and catalyzed exhaust for 2003, are familiar and
reassuring.
The exhaust system is quieter and cleaner and
also features new heat-shields on the silencers to protect the legs of rider
and passenger from accidental burns. The Aluminium’s impressive top speed
will satisfy even the most intrepid riders, while anyone who has sat on its
anatomically padded saddle will tell you that in terms of comfort the
Aluminium is second to none.
