From the dealer's page

HOW MUCH RIGHT-ON CAN YOU PACK ONTO TWO WHEELS? Nostalgic leather bags. Tooled metal detailing on the fender, tank, seat and bags. Sleek new chrome tank console. Wide whitewall tires on laced wheels. But its timeless good looks are just an appetizer for the chromed-out Twin Cam 96™ V-twin and six-speed gearbox. Add to that our rear air-adjustable suspension and new Brembo® brakes with ABS option, plus a more comfortable handlebar and seat, standard electronic cruise control and a new far-ranging six-gallon gas tank. You have exactly what you need to go out and chase some wind.
