How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a bold style-and-image cruiser, it's meant for boulevard cruising, shows, and making a statement rather than efficient point-to-point riding.
- Built for
- Loud, torquey, and visually dramatic, it rewards riders who want a raw, high-torque V-twin soundtrack and head-turning presence over outright agility.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for new riders, tight urban commuting, off-road use, or anyone wanting nimble, quick-flicking handling.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
