Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimension machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt as a dedicated long-distance touring machine designed to devour highway miles in plush comfort rather than to thrill on twisty backroads.
Rider FitRiders benefit from decent height and strength to handle the substantial dry weight when stopped or pushing the bike around, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
CharacterA smooth, torque-rich six-cylinder boxer delivers effortless, refined power suited to a relaxed, unhurried riding style focused on comfort and stability.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets or aggressive cornering, or for any off-road use.
