The distinction between the base model and the LT is the addition of removable leather saddlebags, auxiliary lamps, and, a first for its class, white-walled tires mounted on wide, wire-spoked wheels. When you also take into consideration the low seat height, the beefy Showa suspension, and the proven, 1699cc powerplant, the end result is a superb machine, capable of taking you on transcontinental hauls with style and elegance. | The distinction between the base model and the LT is the addition of removable leather saddlebags, auxiliary lamps, and, a first for its class, white-walled tires mounted on wide, wire-spoked wheels.
