The Classic is the cruiser-styled Rocket III with rider footboards, pull-back handlebars, reverse-cone silencers, a double touring seat and more paint choices. Mechanically it matches the standard bike, with the same 2.3-litre triple, shaft drive and big front brakes. It is a heavy but stable and comfortable long-distance cruiser.
