How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and highway miles rather than aggressive sport riding or commuting agility.
- Built for
- A classic big-bore V-twin cruiser character with strong low-end torque, a shaft drive for smooth power delivery, and a stretched-out riding posture that rewards patience over haste.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or quick acceleration for aggressive overtaking.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
