At the heart of the 2006 Ridley X88 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Ridley relies on a 1450 cc (88.5 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the X88 measures 263.1 kg (580 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 635 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,651 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.14-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
