Best for: Built for high-torque boulevard cruising and making a visual statement, with a massive 240mm rear tyre and muscular power delivery rather than outright cornering ability.
Built for: A bold, muscle-cruiser statement bike that rewards confident throttle use with strong low-RPM torque and a commanding, chopper-inspired stance.
Not ideal for: Not for riders seeking a nimble, lightweight machine for tight city commuting or aggressive cornering, or anyone wanting off-road capability.
