How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for long-distance highway touring with a batwing fairing, hard saddlebags, and integrated infotainment for all-day comfort.
- Built for
- A classic American cruiser-tourer character, delivering a relaxed, torque-rich V-twin rumble rather than outright speed or sharp cornering agility.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sporty cornering performance, lightweight agility, or any off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
