How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and short scenic rides rather than outright speed or distance touring.
- Built for
- A classic small-displacement V-twin cruiser that favors style, torque-driven low-end pull, and unhurried riding over aggressive performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed highway touring comfort.
