How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides where style and V-twin character matter more than outright speed.
- Built for
- It has the soul of a classic muscle cruiser, with a punchy 90-degree V-twin delivering a satisfying growl and midrange torque rather than screaming top-end power.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking agile canyon-carving performance, serious 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.
