How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It is built primarily for laid-back boulevard cruising and showing off custom styling rather than speed or long-distance capability.
- Built for
- It has a distinctive custom chopper personality with a small-displacement V-twin, softail-style frame, and dual chopper exhausts that prioritize attitude and looks over outright performance.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for riders seeking highway overtaking power, aggressive cornering, off-road use, or serious two-up long-distance touring.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
