How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a boutique power-cruiser/custom performance bike, it's meant for boulevard cruising and show-stopping presence rather than lap times.
- Built for
- It has a brash, muscular character defined by massive torque, a fat rear tire, and aggressive custom styling that prioritizes attitude over agility.
- Not ideal for
- This is not a bike for beginners, tight twisty roads, off-road use, or riders wanting a nimble, flickable machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
