PURE UNCOMPROMISING STYLE
Abundant power. Restless innovation. And unmistakable style.
The stripped down essence of an iconic marque.
Stripped down until all that's left is an irresistible urge to ride.
Take it all in, and you'll see a front end that drips with chrome,
laced wheels wearing whitewall tires, and a light-up headress on the
deeply valanced front fender leading the way. There's always somebody
who wants to get a better look at the Classic's beautiful curves.
