How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and highway rides where big V-twin torque and presence matter more than outright cornering agility.
- Built for
- A big-bore, torque-heavy performance cruiser that trades nimbleness for a commanding stance, deep exhaust note, and relaxed high-speed cruising manners.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable bike for tight city streets or aggressive cornering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
