There is a "badge" on the windshield just above the headlight, which looks like it's for a Suzuki Boulevard, probably a C50. That, and the shape of the mirrors, tank, and directionals.

You see, I used to have an '03 Suzuki Volusia (the C50's predecessor), so I'm familiar with the bike. And when I saw this, I just thought ... whaaaat? I never expected to see HD use a metric in any of their promotional material.

Anyway, I was very surprised and had to wonder if that picture was an accident on someone's part.

Carry on!

If you click on the picture, you get a bigger picture of the bike and you can tell by the master cylinder...
