How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for muscular straight-line power delivery and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
- Built for
- A brawny, torque-heavy power cruiser that rewards a relaxed, assertive riding style with big V-twin thump and drag-style attitude.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
