Best for: Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and styling with a classic custom V-twin look rather than outright performance.
Built for: A laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness, twin spark plug ignition sophistication, and a deep exhaust note that rewards easy-going riding over aggressive cornering.
