Rider Profile

Best For	Approachable for newer riders thanks to a low 29-inch seat, but the heavy 491 lb weight and torquey V-twin reward some experience.
Purpose	A classic air-cooled cruiser built for relaxed street riding, boulevard cruising, and short-to-medium rides with plenty of low-end grunt.
Rider Fit	Low-slung cruiser ergonomics with a 737mm seat, feet-forward stance, and a hefty 223kg mass that plants it firmly on the road.
Character	Loud, torquey, and unmistakably Harley - a rumbling 1200cc V-twin that favors laid-back cruising over outright pace or agility.
Not Ideal For	Not for track days, off-roading, sport riders chasing lean angles, or long-haul tourers needing a big fuel tank - just 8.5L here.
