Best for: Built as a power-cruiser that blends Gold Wing running gear with a muscular, stripped-down custom look for boulevard cruising and open-road touring.
Built for: A torque-rich flat-six engine and shaft drive give a smooth, effortless, high-torque cruising character rather than an outright sporty feel.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight canyon roads or any form of off-road use.
