How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a stylish custom cruiser that blends relaxed cruising comfort with a genuinely sporty four-cylinder engine underneath.
- Built for
- A charismatic early-80s Japanese custom bike that pairs cruiser attitude with the smoother, higher-revving character of an inline-four rather than a V-twin.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, aggressive sport-bike cornering performance, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.
