How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than sport riding, with a big-bore V-twin delivering strong low-end torque.
- Built for
- A classic American-style power cruiser with a deep V-twin exhaust note, shaft drive smoothness, and a commanding, laid-back riding stance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
