How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for long-distance highway touring in style, with strong torque, weather protection, and integrated luggage for two-up travel.
- Built for
- It has the character of a big, torque-rich American cruiser: relaxed, commanding, and effortless at speed rather than eager to be flicked around corners.
- Not ideal for
- It's not for riders seeking a light, nimble machine for tight cornering, off-road use, or quick urban commuting.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
