How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for effortless long-distance highway touring with a passenger and full luggage rather than sporty riding.
- Built for
- Appeals to laid-back cruiser riders who value low-RPM torque, relaxed ergonomics, and a classic V-twin soundtrack over outright speed or agility.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
