How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than spirited or sporty riding.
- Built for
- A big, torquey V-twin cruiser with a laid-back demeanor, generous windscreen protection, and a smooth belt-driven cadence suited to unhurried mile-eating.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or outright acceleration performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
