How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built as a boutique custom cruiser meant for boulevard cruising, shows, and turning heads rather than outright performance or distance touring.
- Built for
- It has the raw, torque-driven V-twin soul and aggressive stance of a hand-built American chopper, with a menacing exhaust note from the Kerker 2-into-1 system.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for beginners, off-road adventurers, or anyone wanting a nimble, quick-turning motorcycle for tight city streets or long two-up trips.
