How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It exists purely as a straight-line spectacle and boulevard showpiece, built to deliver brutal V8 torque and turn heads rather than to carve corners.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a hot rod bolted to two wheels in front and a car axle behind, roaring with V8 torque and shaft drive theatrics instead of high-rev motorcycle character.
- Not ideal for
- This is not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
