Best for
Built for covering long highway miles in comfort with a big, torquey V-twin doing the work rather than for outright speed or track use.
Built for
A commanding, bagger-style cruiser that rewards a laid-back, road-eating riding style over aggressive cornering ambitions.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets or twisty backroad carving.
