How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a boutique custom chopper, it's meant for cruising, showing off at bike nights, and short scenic rides rather than any performance or utility riding.
- Built for
- It has a raw, rumbling, unapologetically old-school hot-rod attitude built around big V-twin torque, loud pipes, and bold flame paint rather than refinement or numbers.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, comfortable two-up touring, or modern electronic rider aids.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
