Its retro aesthetic, complete with a gloss black Springer front end and striking tribal pinstripe graphics, makes the Cross Bones a standout on any road. At the heart of the Cross Bones lies a powerful 1584cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers a robust torque of 125 Nm at 3,500 RPM. This combination provides a thrilling ride, whether you are cruising down the highway or navigating through city streets.

The motorcycle boasts a unique black leading link front suspension that harkens back to classic designs, paired with a hidden, horizontal-mounted rear suspension for improved handling and stability. Riders will appreciate the adjustable two-position sprung solo seat, which offers comfort tailored to individual preferences. Additionally, the bike's glossy black mini “ape-hanger” handlebars and half-moon floorboards with heel/toe shifter provide both style and functionality. With a fuel capacity of 19.7 liters, riders can embark on longer journeys without the constant worry of refueling. **

Pros
