Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy machine at low speed; not a beginner bike despite its relaxed, torquey power delivery. |
| Purpose | A fully-loaded long-haul touring bagger built to devour interstate miles two-up with luggage, infotainment, cruise control and all-weather comfort. |
| Rider Fit | Massive 918 lb wet weight with a low 27.5in seat, big fairing, windshield, floorboards and hard bags; planted and comfortable but a handful when parking. |
| Character | Grand American touring flagship: torque-rich Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin, plush ride, effortless highway cruising and premium touring amenities. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for tight-canyon carvers, track riders, off-road use, budget-minded riders, or those wanting a nimble, lightweight commuter. |
