How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a fairing-mounted stereo and storage rather than for quick errands or sport riding.
- Built for
- It delivers a torquey, unhurried V-twin cruising experience wrapped in Harley's signature bagger touring style.
- Not ideal for
- It's not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
