XV920 2.0
After Bob Ranew let us sell his first bike out from under him, we endeavored to top it with a nicely updated version. Lighter, brighter and more polished than the original, the XV 2.0 is a little less hooligan and a bit more highbrow. Just like numero uno, this one has crazy torque, a truly pissed off V-twin sound and very few creature comforts. And rumor has it, that Bob might have doubled down yet again for something more refined still. And maybe the 2.0 lives on in a very happy place.
