Additional Specifications:

• Swingarm: Twin-sided, tubular steel
• Front Wheel: Alloy 12-spoke, 18 x 2.5 in.
• Rear Wheel: Alloy 12-spoke, 15 x 3.5 in.

Chassis

• Both new and experienced riders will appreciate the sure-footed ability of the chassis and the confidence-inspiring handling. The riding position is relaxed for both rider and passenger and offers a supremely comfortable ride, thanks to the large, low 28-inch seat, forward set pegs and raked handlebars.

Engine

• The America’s 865-cubic-centimeter, air-cooled, DOHC, twin-cylinder engine shares its basic architecture with the Bonnie, but the 270-degree firing angle provides a loping exhaust note and smooth power delivery that’s big on easy-going drive and full of character.

Exhaust System

• The America’s engine fires out through a pair of deep-chrome reverse silencers.

Fuel Tank

• The America’s new seamless, teardrop-shaped tank holDual Sport more fuel as well as looking great with its chromed badges and hand painted coach lines.

Fueling

• CVK36 Keihin carburetors with throttle position sensor and float bowl heaters.

Wheels

• The cast, aluminum alloy 15-inch rear rim is crowned with a fat, 170/80-section rear tire while the front, an 18-inch cast wheel, wears a 110/90 tire. Durable, wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America’s raked front end, while twin-piston calipers and front and rear disc brakes take care of stopping duties.
