Best for
Built primarily for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Built for
A classic big-inch V-twin cruiser with a torquey, unhurried powerplant, shaft drive smoothness, and a laid-back, boulevard-cruising personality.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering response, off-road capability, or nimble city commuting.
