With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5912 HP/kg, the BHC-3 LS300 effortlessly combines brute force with rideability, making it as comfortable on long cruises as it is thrilling on twisty backroads.

Equipped with a host of features designed for both comfort and performance, the BHC-3 LS300 doesn't skimp on technology. The inverted front forks with adjustable preload and dual 13-inch rear coilover shocks ensure a smooth ride, absorbing bumps with ease, while the double disc front brakes provide confidence-inspiring stopping power.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: With a powerful engine comes a thirst for fuel, meaning riders may find themselves stopping more often than on smaller cruisers.
  3. Limited Storage: The design prioritizes style and performance, which may result in less practical storage options for longer trips.
