Best for: Built for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring rather than sport riding or commuting through tight traffic.
Built for: A laid-back, classic American-style V-twin cruiser with a low seat, long wheelbase, and torque-driven, unhurried personality.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city bike.
