How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than performance riding, with a big twin engine delivering strong low-end torque over outright speed.
- Built for
- A classic American-style cruiser persona, with shaft drive smoothness, deep torque, and a laid-back riding position that rewards a relaxed, unhurried throttle hand.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or lightweight nimble handling in city traffic.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
