The second listed Nomad pair, using the same 1700 cc liquid-cooled V-twin, belt drive and touring chassis as the 2009-10 bike. The page lists identical figures, so the differences for these years are not visible in the spec sheet. It remains a windscreen-and-saddlebag touring cruiser with cruise control.
