inventing the naked model category but for turning around the fortunes of

displacement lineup that appeals to a wide range of riders including the

popular mid weight eight to one the monsters mass has always been

visually concentrated up front but even today those minimalist design cues and

engine a frame a tank a seat it’s pretty much all that’s still here

and yet this monster is modern the 820 1 CC test a stretcher engine is now liquid cooled and develops 111 brake horsepower

is the lack of colors on the bike you sit nice and upright with your arms

stretched out wide and these scallope sections and the metal tank encourage

you to sit nice and tight in thing is if you’re tall or enjoy riding with the

balls of your feet on these pegs and just make sure that the boots don’t get
