Advanced custom cruiser when launched in 1986, with liquid cooling, DOHC four valves per cylinder head and six speed box.
Power was a heady 74bhp @ 10500rpm in the early models, pretty impressive for a 600 cruiser. Later models were less powerful but blessed with more mid range performance.
Weighing a little over 209kg wet, this shaft driven machine delivered strong performance with a genuine 120mph top speed, for those that could tolerate the windblast at such speeds!
Good build quality and long term durability have ensured healthy residuals for good low mileage examples, also helped by a healthy and reasonably priced spares situation.
