Best for: Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and style-focused riding rather than outright speed or precision handling.
Built for: A classic American V-twin custom with a stretched-out stance, deep exhaust rumble, and a strong emphasis on visual presence over sharp cornering ability.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.
