Overview

Introducing the 2016 Cleveland Misfit Gen II, the epitome of a modern naked bike that combines vintage charm with contemporary performance. Designed for riders who crave a stripped-down aesthetic without sacrificing functionality, the Misfit Gen II stands out in a crowded marketplace. With its minimalist design, robust build, and approachable performance, it appeals to both new riders looking for their first motorcycle and veterans seeking an agile companion for urban commuting. At the heart of the Misfit Gen II is a spirited 223cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a peppy 16.09 HP at 7500 RPM. This powerplant is well-tuned for city riding, providing a respectable torque of 18 Nm at 5500 RPM, which translates to lively acceleration and smooth throttle response. The air-cooled engine, combined with a 5-speed gearbox, offers that classic motorcycle feel, while the wet multi-plate clutch ensures seamless gear transitions. Whether navigating through narrow city streets or enjoying a leisurely ride on backroads, the Misfit’s lightweight frame (weighing in at just 144 kg) enhances maneuverability, making it a joy to ride in any scenario. The Misfit Gen II isn’t just about performance; it’s also equipped with features that enhance the riding experience. The tubular backbone frame provides a solid foundation, while the single wave disc brake at the front (315 mm) and rear (220 mm) ensure reliable stopping power when you need it most. With a rake of 25 degrees and a trail of 114 mm, the bike offers agile handling that feels both responsive and stable. The adjustable seat height of 775 mm makes it accessible to a wide range of riders, and the kick-start adds a nostalgic touch to the overall experience. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 144 kg, the Misfit Gen II is easy to handle, especially for new riders.
  • Classic Aesthetics: Its minimalist design evokes a sense of nostalgia, appealing to retro motorcycle enthusiasts.
  • Great City Commuter: With its nimble performance and good torque, it excels in urban environments.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Riding: With only 16.09 HP, it may struggle at higher speeds, making it less ideal for long highway journeys.
  • Basic Features: The lack of advanced technology and features may not satisfy tech-savvy riders looking for modern amenities.
  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric start may deter some riders who prefer the convenience of a push-button ignition.
