How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting.
- Built for
- A classic American V-twin bagger character, delivering strong low-end torque, a low rumbling exhaust note, and a stable, unhurried ride.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, 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.
