How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed highway cruising and weekend touring rather than outright performance, with a shaft-drive V-twin, saddlebags, and windscreen aimed at covering long miles in comfort.
- Built for
- A laid-back, classic American-style cruiser with a torquey 52-degree V-twin, dual spark plugs per cylinder, and a smooth shaft final drive that favors steady, unhurried riding over aggressive cornering.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders wanting sharp handling, high-speed sport performance, or any serious off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
