How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed, long-distance highway cruising with a torquey shaft-driven V-twin rather than for outright speed or sporty cornering.
- Built for
- A classic, character-laden cruiser-tourer with distinctive V-twin throb, chrome styling, and unhurried, torque-driven power delivery.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for quick city commuting.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
