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

- Built for
- A classic V-twin cruiser with laid-back styling, shaft drive smoothness, and a torquey, unhurried character over outright performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road use.
