- Large 140/80-17 front tire gives the T model a commanding profile.

 Engine/Drivetrain

- 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising.

- Powerplant features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the engine's character.

- Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse feeling transmitted by the traditional V-twin design.

- The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful character of the V-twin engine.

- Three-Valve Dual Plug Combustion Chamber (see Tech Section)

- Easy -to-service screw-and-locknut valve adjusters.

- Single 38mm constant-velocity carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds.

- Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability.

- Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.

- Unique dry-sump oil system utilizes a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case. The result is a freer-revving engine for improved power and a lower engine height, allowing optimum rider ergonomics and a low 27-inch seat height.

- Chromed two-into-two exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note.

- Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life.

- Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners.

- Sturdy clutch utilizes a rubber clutch-center damper to ensure smooth and quiet shifting.

- Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for exciting roll-on performance.

- Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation.

- Drive-flange design at the final-drive gear reduces final-drive noise and wear, and simplifies rear wheel installation.

SUSPENSION

- Large 41mm extended front fork provides 5.1 inches of plush yet responsive travel.

- Dual chromed rear shocks with five-position preload adjustment feature an advanced internal valve system for a comfortable ride.

- Front disc brake features a twin-piston caliper with a large-diameter 336mm stainless-steel rotor. Combined with the rear single-piston caliper and 296mm stainless-steel rotor, the brakes provide excellent stopping power.

Additional Features

- Specially designed tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer, odometer/A&B tripmeter and indicator lights for the turn signals, high beam, neutral, oil pressure and coolant temperature.

- Electric speedometer with easy-to-read classic numerals uses an electronic transmission speed sensor , which eliminates the front-wheel-mounted speedometer cable for a clean, uncluttered look.

- Extensive chrome-finish of engine parts includes cylinder-head covers, valve inspection covers, airbox cover, left crankcase cover, clutch cover, and left-rear engine cover.
