Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for intermediate to experienced riders comfortable managing 800+ lbs of low-slung weight; not a beginner's first bike due to sheer mass. |
| Purpose | A stripped-down bagger built for relaxed long-haul highway cruising and open-road touring with saddlebags, windshield and cruise control. |
| Rider Fit | Low 27.4in seat and forward controls give a laid-back stance; very heavy at 820 lbs wet, but weight carries low for planted feel once rolling. |
| Character | Classic American V-twin muscle: massive 165Nm torque from the Milwaukee-Eight 114, effortless roll-on, and a commanding, nostalgic road presence. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for off-road, tight-corner sport riding, track days, or riders wanting a light, flickable machine for stop-and-go city commuting. |
