Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine best suited to confident, experienced riders who understand the quirks of long, raked-out custom choppers. |
| Purpose | Built as a bold style-and-image cruiser, it's meant for boulevard cruising, shows, and making a statement rather than efficient point-to-point riding. |
| Rider Fit | The extreme 42-degree rake, stretched frame, and huge 300mm rear tyre demand strong low-speed handling skills and deliberate, physical steering input. |
| Character | Loud, torquey, and visually dramatic, it rewards riders who want a raw, high-torque V-twin soundtrack and head-turning presence over outright agility. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not a good fit for new riders, tight urban commuting, off-road use, or anyone wanting nimble, quick-flicking handling. |
