Features and Benefits (Canada)

Engine:

" 1,063cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve per cylinder, 75° V-twin is tuned to provide outstanding low- and mid-range torque. Maximum torque is reached at only 2,500 rpm for exceptional overall cruising performance.

" Forged, lightweight pistons provide great durability while reducing vibration and reciprocating mass for fast throttle response.

" Ceramic composite cylinder bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation for better cooling, reduced friction and longer cylinder life.

" Thick cylinder cooling fins enhance the stylish look while increasing cooling efficiency and reducing mechanical noise.

" Dual Mikuni BSR 37mm carburetors with throttle position sensors (T.P.S.) feature carburetor heaters and handy side-mounted air filter to ensure consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev range.

" One-way, cam clutch-type starter decreases mechanical noise during starting.

" Transistorized coil ignition is maintenance-free and ensures fast starts and great engine performance.

" Automatic cam chain tensioners and special silent design cam chains reduce both mechanical noise and maintenance.

" Slick shifting, 5-speed transmission is perfectly suited for both city and highway use. 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for a smooth comfortable ride.
