How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
- Built for
- A classic big-inch American-style cruiser with a thumping air-cooled V2, chrome-heavy styling, and a laid-back riding position.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or high-performance acceleration.
