How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for cruising around town and short leisurely rides rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- It has a classic, laid-back custom cruiser character with modest V-twin power delivered in a relaxed, unhurried manner.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for riders seeking highway-speed touring comfort, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
