MODEL UNIQUE FEATURES:
Performance and Handling
  Powerful Helicon™ engine 1,125 cc, 72°, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine produced through a partnership with BRP-Rotax. Detailed engine specifications were provided by Buell, as well as contributions in technology and engineering on several key areas. The Helicon™ engine is exclusive to Buell.  
  Redline is 10,500 rpm  
  Finger Follower Valve Actuation reduces friction and permits quicker valve opening due to reduced weight; shim replacement is quick and easy  
  Dual overhead cams with self-adjusting chain and gear drive creates a very compact head design  
  Engine is primary balanced with 3 internal shafts, reducing weight and minimizing vibration  
  Coil-over plug design  
  Compensated front sprocket mounted on output shaft reduces engine pulses felt in the drivetrain  
  Twin side-mounted radiators allows efficient airflow and engine cooling  
  Hydraulic Vacuum Assist (HVA) slipper-action clutch produces the same effect as a slipper clutch to reduce rear wheel hop during high-speed downshifts  
  All-new exhaust system is tuned to produce a linear horsepower and torque curve using Helmholtz resonator  
  RAM air system pressurizes the airbox and results in a horsepower performance boost at higher speeds  
  “Quiet zone” cockpit is the result of aerodynamic design and testing of the front fairing and windshield shape – it optimizes airflow, reducing drag and increasing rider comfort  
Styling
  Athletic riding position with a relaxed footpeg location  
  Headlamps incorporated into front fairing  
  LED front turn signals incorporated into the aerodynamic mirror housing  
  Adjustable brake and clutch levers; adjustable foot controls  
  Twin brushed stainless steel exhaust outlets create a stylized look, while producing a unique and powerful sounding exhaust note  
  Wiring harness is pre-wired for heated grips  
  Triple clamps sport 25th Anniversary Signature Edition graphics  
  Midnight Black bodywork with Diamond Blue frame and matching Diamond Blue wheels
