Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy, torque-driven cruisers, as the large-displacement V-twin and modest brakes reward a measured, deliberate riding style; note that details like power output and precise category are unverifi
PurposeThis machine is built primarily for relaxed, low-rpm cruising and boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitAt over 210 kg dry weight with a low-slung V-twin layout, it demands solid low-speed balance and some upper body strength for maneuvering at a stop or in tight spaces.
CharacterIt has the unmistakable character of a classic American-style cruiser, delivering heavy, rhythmic V-twin pulses and a laid-back, traditional riding stance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed performance, or any kind of off-road capability.
