With a starting price of $30,999, this bike is designed for those who demand more than just a ride; they crave an adventure wrapped in luxury and style. At the heart of the Pursuit Dark Horse lies the formidable 1768 cc (107.88 cubic inches) liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine, delivering an impressive 122 horsepower and an earth-shaking torque of 173.6 Nm at 3800 RPM. This potent combination ensures that riders can conquer any highway with authority and ease.

A 7-inch touchscreen serves as the command center, featuring navigation, Apple CarPlay® integration, and electable ride modes that cater to a variety of riding styles. Riders can enjoy their favorite tunes through the robust 200-watt audio system, complete with AM/FM, Bluetooth, USB, and Weatherband capabilities. The mPower Windshield not only enhances aerodynamics but also provides protection from the elements, making every journey comfortable. With keyless ignition and a host of practical features, this motorcycle is designed for the modern rider who values convenience and connectivity. **
