How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
- Built for
- A classic, air-cooled 75-degree V-twin with shaft drive delivers a steady, thumping character prized for smooth, unhurried cruising rather than aggressive performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed touring performance.
