How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a big-twin American bagger for covering long interstate miles in comfort with ample luggage capacity.
- Built for
- A relaxed, torque-rich cruiser-tourer with a commanding presence, deep exhaust note, and effortless highway pull rather than outright sportiness.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
