How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-haul, two-up interstate touring with maximum comfort, weather protection, and luggage capacity rather than sport performance.
- Built for
- A relaxed, torque-rich cruiser-tourer character defined by big low-end pull, a commanding riding position, and a smooth, unhurried demeanor rather than outright speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets or aggressive cornering, or anyone wanting an off-road capable machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
