How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and style-driven short rides rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
- Built for
- A big, torquey air-cooled V-twin with a stripped-down blacked-out attitude that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or serious long-haul touring comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
