How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a full-dress touring cruiser, designed to eat up long highway miles in comfort rather than to carve corners or thrill with acceleration.
- Built for
- A stately, V4-powered grand tourer that trades sharp handling for smooth power delivery, plush comfort, and effortless mile-munching stability.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right bike for riders seeking nimble city commuting, aggressive cornering, or any kind of off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
