Standard fittings include a chromed, dual exhaust system, Borrani cast-aluminum wheels, a plush, dual saddle, an analogue instrument cluster, wide handlebars, a round headlight, front and rear blinkers, a front Marzocchi telescopic fork coupled to dual shocks as a rear suspension, and a Brembo braking system with dual front discs and a single disc in the rear.
