Best for: Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and V4-powered straight-line thrills rather than track days or aggressive cornering.
Built for: A muscular, V4-engined cruiser with a distinctive exhaust note and torquey mid-range that favors relaxed, throttle-driven riding over precise handling.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders wanting nimble cornering performance, serious touring range, or any kind of off-road capability.
