Best for: Built for long-haul, two-up touring in maximum comfort with strong torque for effortless highway cruising rather than outright speed or sportiness.
Built for: A big-torque, air-cooled V-twin cruiser-tourer that delivers a relaxed, commanding ride with plush suspension and a strong low-end pull rather than high-rev excitement.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
