A 30-PAGE BROCHURE WON'T TELL YOU HALF AS MUCH AS A 30-SECOND TEST DRIVE.

Say hello to the Outlander 500. Powered by the only V-twin in the category, it delivers more power (40.4-hp) and a better power-to-weight ratio (6.3 hp per 100 lbs) than any bike in its class. Featuring cast-aluminum wheels for less unsprung weight, more mass centralization and better handling. In other words, it's time to stop reading and start riding.
