This Naked bike model is powered by a Single cylinder, two-stroke engine with 98.00 ccm (5.98 cubic inches) of actual displacement before compression. Fueling is metered via Carburettor allowing this machine to produce its horsepower and torque. According to our records engine heat of the James Comet is moderated by Air.

The entire package is supported by the frame, Single cradle. We know you like to go fast or cruise all day, but when you need to stop, you'll be dependant on Expanding brake (drum brake) front brakes and Expanding brake (drum brake) rear brakes.
