The touring character of the motorcycle is enhanced by forward-set footpegs, a touring-style handlebar, a taller windscreen, adjustable pillion footrests, heated grips, and a pillion backrest as standard. The feature list comprises of LED headlights, Bluetooth-enable TFT display with GoPro control, and a single-sided swingarm.
