How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a relaxed, shaft-driven touring cruiser for covering long distances in comfort rather than for outright speed or sport riding.
- Built for
- A smooth, torquey V4 cruiser with shaft drive, saddlebags, and a laid-back riding position that favors effortless highway cruising over aggressive handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city bike.
