How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A small-displacement cruiser-tourer for relaxed commuting and light weekend rides, with windscreen and saddlebags for gentle-paced touring.
- Built for
- A charming budget V-twin cruiser with big-bike looks but small-bike performance; smooth, unintimidating and easygoing rather than fast.
- Not ideal for
- Not for speed seekers, highway cruisers needing quick overtakes, off-road use, or experienced riders wanting real power and long-haul range.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
