URBAN WARRIOR

Just as a jagged stretch of country or canyon road offers one kind of challenge, a crowded city environment offers another. This urban streetfighter comes fully equipped to handle whatever the big city throws your way, with standard wind deflectors, frame pucks, headlamp grille, and the unique X-Guard to protect the airbox cover from your tank bag. Light, nimble, and aggressive, it’s powered by a 984 cubic-centimeter Thunderstorm® air / oil / fan-cooled, fuel injected 45-degree V-twin. Who says a road has to be wide open to be fun?
