How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed, stylish boulevard and open-road cruising rather than performance riding or long-distance touring comfort.
- Built for
- A big-torque, air-cooled V-twin bobber that rewards laid-back throttle rolls and delivers strong low-RPM grunt with old-school mechanical presence.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a plush, wind-protected long-haul touring setup.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
