How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and V4-powered straight-line thrills rather than track days or aggressive cornering.
- Built for
- A muscular, V4-engined cruiser with a distinctive exhaust note and torquey mid-range that favors relaxed, throttle-driven riding over precise handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting nimble cornering performance, serious touring range, or any kind of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
