Best for: It exists primarily as a straight-line spectacle and show-stopping cruiser, built for thunderous acceleration and attention rather than nimble riding.
Built for: It has an outrageous, brash personality defined by raw V8 torque, automotive-derived engineering, and unapologetic size and presence.
Not ideal for: It is not for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, easy-to-manage everyday bike.
