How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a blacked-out power cruiser, it's meant for stylish boulevard and weekend riding rather than outright performance or distance touring.
- Built for
- It has a bold, aggressive custom look with torquey big-twin power delivery, favoring relaxed muscular cruising over cornering agility.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
