How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for stylish, relaxed café-racer cruising rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- A charismatic, classically styled V-twin that rewards a laid-back, style-conscious riding approach over aggressive riding.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed thrills, serious off-road capability, or heavy touring loads.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
