Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > Forty-Eight Special
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
While the standard Forty-Eight model is pretty blacked-out, the Special adds a bit of bling, with chromed exhaust and engine bits. Other than that, it's still the same retro-styled model as the original, with fat tires and visual cues all the way back to post-WWII machines.
