• ECU provides digital 3-D fuel-injection and ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb rideability.
• Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation.
• Engine is a 1,795 cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin that hammers out immense power.

• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
• Three-Valve Dual Plug Combustion Chamber.
• Easy-to-service screw-and-locknut valve-clearance adjusters.

• High-capacity radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life.
• Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for relaxed cruising and exciting roll-on performance.
