How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It is built primarily for laid-back boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than for speed or distance.
- Built for
- It has the classic V-twin custom chopper character, with a rigid frame, long rake, and stripped-down single-seat styling that rewards style over performance.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for riders wanting sporty cornering, off-road capability, or serious two-up touring comfort.
