Based on the engine, chassis and legendary styling of our America, the LT adds a layer of touring capability and an enviable range of factory fitted extras designed to make those longer distances a breeze. All the while maintaining the traditional deep chrome and polished detailing demanded of a classic cruiser, of course. Features may include: EngineStriking machined fins pick out the distinctive parallel twin shape, while chrome engine covers are offset against jet-black barrels and crankcases. A pair of wide, dramatically splayed exhaust pipes dominate the LT s front three-quarter profile with their classic header-run following a straight line from the throttle bodies through to the headers. Our parallel twin heritage for all to see and admire.ChassisSwept-back classic styling, characterised by details such as the dramatic slab top yoke, centre-mounted white-faced speedo, large single headlight, chrome tank console housing and filler cap, and hand-painted tank and mudguard coachlines.PerformanceBuilt to be ridden, not just to look good. The America s 865cc parallel-twin puts out a healthy 61PS with strong torque at low revs, peaking at 72Nm at just 3300rpm. Ideal for urban cruising at low revs but with enough muscle for serious long distances at motorway speeds, even with a passenger or luggage on board.This vertical twin is a true original. Drawing on our heritage from fifties and sixties parallel twins and coupling that with modern technology and build standards, the engine in the America has a laid-back riding character that s unique to the cruiser world.ConfigurationStraight away people notice the America s unmistakably British style. Its pair of cylinders stand upright and proud and make a powerful statement. And, being air-cooled there s no radiator to spoil the view.SuspensionWith forks raked out at a shallow angle and feature polished shrouding and silver legs that match the chrome springs and covers of the laid-down, twin rear shocks. The America s suspension works hard to provide laid-back comfort and road feedback in true cruiser style.HandlingLong, low and stable like a cruiser should be.Everything about the America s chassis is focussed on balance and we ve matched each component carefully to maintain that steady, intuitive feel.As a result, it s agile enough for an exciting ride when the road gets interesting and is more capable through the corners than most of its rivals.It s so well-balanced that it is ideal for inexperienced riders
