The all-new motorcycle features a retro design with round-shaped LED headlamps, tail-lamps and turn-signal indicators. It also features a large sculpted fuel tank with circular rear-view mirrors adding to the retro looks. Several trim pieces of the motorcycle are finished in chrome including the exhaust.
