How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- 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.
