- Built for long-haul highway cruising and two-up touring, hauling luggage in relaxed comfort with its fairing, big V-twin torque and belt drive.
- Built for
- A classic American road-boat: torquey, easygoing, unhurried air-cooled V-twin that thrives at a steady cruise rather than aggressive riding.
- Not ideal for
- Not for those wanting sporty handling, quick agility, track work, off-road use, or an easy-to-manage lightweight commuter.
