How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for confident boulevard cruising and stoplight-to-stoplight torque punch rather than outright top-speed or track ambitions.
- Built for
- A big-inch, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with old-school Thunder Stroke character wrapped in modern electronics like ride modes and keyless ignition.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.
