- Built for
- A big, torquey air-cooled V-twin cruiser with classic American styling, deep exhaust note, and a relaxed, commanding riding position.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders wanting agile cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight commuter experience.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMOct 2019 · 19V776000
