The 2017-18 VN900 Custom keeps the 903 cc fuel-injected V-twin and belt drive of the earlier Custom while adding a set of factory custom details: a 21-inch front tyre, drag-style handlebar, blacked-out finishes and a teardrop tank. The page describes it as a low, cast-wheeled cruiser with a large rear tyre and forward footpegs, suited to both town and highway riding.
