How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily as a stylish custom cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding rather than outright speed or performance.
- Built for
- A laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser with classic custom styling, a belt final drive for smooth power delivery, and modest liquid-cooled DOHC performance rather than aggressive sportiness.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking track performance, off-road capability, or sharp, agile handling in tight corners.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
