How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a power-cruiser style custom bike for boulevard cruising, weekend rides, and making a strong visual and sound statement rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- A big-displacement 48-degree V-twin with a fat 200-section rear tire gives it a muscular, aggressive drag-style cruiser character with strong low-end torque feel.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for beginners, off-road use, tight technical cornering, or riders prioritizing agility and light handling.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
