How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for long-distance highway touring in maximum comfort with a passenger and full luggage rather than for spirited or technical riding.
- Built for
- A big-twin American bagger with a thumping 116 cubic inch engine, deep torque, and a commanding, cruiser-styled presence for riders who want stately power over outright speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a light, nimble bike for tight city streets or aggressive cornering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
