How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-distance highway touring in comfort rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
- Built for
- A classic American cruiser with a torquey V-twin heartbeat, full touring bodywork, and a relaxed, commanding riding position.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
