How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for relaxed cruising and short commutes rather than outright speed or long-distance highway work.
- Built for
- It has a laid-back, classic cruiser personality defined by its V-twin thump, low-slung stance, and unhurried power delivery.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders wanting strong acceleration, sustained highway speeds, or serious two-up touring comfort.
