How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement with its massive 210mm rear tire and stretched custom-bike proportions rather than for outright speed or cornering agility.
- Built for
- A big-inch, air-cooled V-twin custom cruiser with OHV torque character, a laid-back riding position, and styling that prioritizes drag-bike-inspired aesthetics over sport performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good match for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical roads.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
