How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for relaxed boulevard cruising and image-driven custom styling rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
- Built for
- It has the classic big-inch V-twin custom cruiser persona: a low, long, laid-back stance with a thumping engine character and straightforward mechanical feel over refined electronics.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
