Best for
Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and style-driven short rides rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
Built for
A big, torquey air-cooled V-twin with a stripped-down blacked-out attitude that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or serious long-haul touring comfort.
