How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a relaxed, big-twin cruiser for highway cruising and light touring rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
- Built for
- Delivers a laid-back, torque-driven riding character with a deep V-twin exhaust note and unhurried, cruiser-style handling.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking 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.
