How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard touring with a classic V-twin character rather than outright performance.
- Built for
- A laid-back, torque-driven cruiser with a big air-cooled V-twin heartbeat, saddlebags, and a windscreen aimed at unhurried open-road journeys.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the machine for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, sport performance, or off-road capability.
