The other trims off various levels of add ons such as windscreens and luggage.

    This European bike comes with a short list of standard equipment to complement it’s low-maintenance shaft drive setup. The twin disc brakes and four-piston calipers ensure you can reign in the power and torque of this beast and ABS keeps hard braking maneuvers under control.
