How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a street-focused naked streetfighter, it excels at spirited backroad blasts and canyon carving rather than long-distance cruising.
- Built for
- It rewards an assertive, engaged riding style with a raw, muscular V-twin character and razor-sharp cornering manners.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for beginners, taller-distance tourers, or anyone wanting a plush, relaxed two-up traveling companion.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
