It also comes standard with a Comfort Package that includes features like Cruise Control, Hillstart Control, Gear Shift Assistant Pro and heated grips, all engineered for long-distance cruising with comfort.
Also included as standard are the Keyless Ride system, a USB charging port, and Connected Ride Control for an intuitive and connected riding experience.
