The Cyclone RA1000 is a new 996cc sport-cruiser motorcycle that has officially entered production, marking Cyclone’s largest bike to date. Developed through a strategic partnership between Cyclone’s parent company Zongshen and the Piaggio Group, the RA1000 leverages the architecture and engine design of the Aprilia Shiver, enabling a rapid entry into the high-displacement segment. The bike features a liquid-cooled, DOHC, eight-valve V-twin engine producing 105 hp at 9,000 rpm and 70 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,500 rpm, supported by a composite frame that combines a tubular steel trellis front with cast aluminum rear plates and a distinctive single-sided swingarm showcasing a wide 240-section rear tire. Stylistically, the RA1000 adopts a sport-cruiser silhouette reminiscent of the Ducati Diavel, with a low-slung profile, dual stacked exhausts, and modern components such as adjustable suspension
