SUMMARY
An unrestored example of this popular 1980s twin-cylinder custom/cruiser.
DESCRIPTION
- The Special cruiser model was introduced in 1978 with the Special II arriving in 1979/80
- In addition to the obvious pullback bars and a teardrop tank, the Special differed from the Standard with significant changes to the rear suspension
- Standards used a 2.15/18" rear wheel, whereas on the Specials a wide 16" rear wheel was used and shock mounts were changed to angle the shocks further off the vertical. Both changes were made to achieve a 'cruiser' styling with the resultant changes to handling
- Dating from 1980, this Special II has covered an indicated 22,317 miles and does not appear to have been restored at any point
- Fitted with a new battery and we understand is now running although will need recommissioning before road use or could form the basis of a street tracker/café bike
- Supplied with its current V5C, some service history and older MOTs
