How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-distance, high-comfort touring with a passenger and luggage rather than for spirited solo backroad riding.
- Built for
- A plush, stable, gadget-laden touring machine that trades cornering agility for security, comfort, and confidence-inspiring composure on the highway.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking the lean-in cornering feel, lightweight agility, or off-road capability of a conventional touring motorcycle.
