How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium rides rather than speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- A classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with modest power, shaft drive smoothness, and an unhurried, torquey feel that rewards relaxed throttle inputs over aggressive riding.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking high top speed, sharp cornering performance, or serious off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
