Best for: Built as a show-stopping custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and style-focused riding rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Built for: A bold, attention-grabbing rigid-look softail with a big S&S-tuned 111ci V-twin, chrome finishes, and custom spoke wheels that broadcasts old-school chopper attitude.
Not ideal for: This is not the right bike for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a nimble commuter for tight city streets.
