Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for experienced riders comfortable managing 680 lb of low-slung muscle; the torque and weight reward a confident hand, not a first-timer. |
| Purpose | A boulevard power-cruiser built for straight-line stance and lazy torque-fed cruising, boulevard posing and highway loafing rather than sport riding. |
| Rider Fit | Very low 25.6-inch seat, long 66.7-inch wheelbase, stretched-out reach, fat 240 rear tire and heavy steering give a planted, laid-back but hefty feel. |
| Character | Muscular, chromed dragster attitude: the Milwaukee-Eight 117 delivers effortless low-end grunt and heavyweight presence with a relaxed, show-off swagger. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for off-road, tight canyon carving, track days, commuters wanting nimble city agility, or new riders intimidated by weight and reach. |
