How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for relaxed, low-key cruising and everyday short-to-medium rides rather than outright performance or long-haul touring.
- Built for
- A classic, easygoing V-twin cruiser with a laid-back exhaust burble and modest torque that rewards smooth, unhurried riding.
- Not ideal for
- It is not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.
