Rider Profile
| Best For | This custom cruiser suits riders who already have experience handling long, heavy, low-slung motorcycles with a wide 40-degree rake and fat 260mm rear tyre. |
| Purpose | Built as a stretched, S&S-powered American-style cruiser, its purpose is bold styling, big V-twin torque, and relaxed boulevard cruising rather than outright performance. |
| Rider Fit | At around 291 kg dry with a low 648mm seat height, it is physically manageable at rest but demands strength and confidence when maneuvering it at low speed or pushing it around. |
| Character | The 1573cc 45-degree V-twin with carbureted torque and a 6-speed belt-drive gearbox gives it a thumping, unhurried, big-inch custom character full of visual presence. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance. |
