Do not be surprised to find a resemblance to him. The design of the 1500 Tourer will draw its inspiration from a cannon of the genre: the inevitable Harley-Davidson Road King. Its base is none other than the VN 1500 Classic transformed into a long-distance custom thanks to multiple accessories. A large windshield supported by small deflectors, beautiful rigid suitcases which can be locked, more comfortable suspensions, fall arresters, a dashboard embedded in the tank, a very cozy saddle, a handlebars taking care of ergonomics ; these attentions make see the road in a very pleasant light. Beautiful to look at, beautiful to ride; here is his course of action. We can not ask him to be a virulent cruiser. The twin is not a thunderbolt and the mass it must take does not have the lightness of a roadster (far from it). With a limited ground clearance (like many customs), it rubs quickly and leaves you the desire to ride sport. The Tourer is comfort and scenery in 16/9. The road handling is healthy, the brakes efficient, the equipment has forgotten to be scarce and the comfort finally convinces you to enjoy the road bucolically..
Models since 2000 are equipped with electronic fuel injection. A plus for the environment and consumption.
