Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling big, heavy touring bikes at low speed and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance highway touring with strong torque delivery from the large PowerPlus 112 V-twin rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe low 672mm seat height helps shorter riders, but the substantial weight and long wheelbase demand good upper-body strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA blacked-out, muscular bagger that blends classic cruiser style with modern touring capability and a commanding road presence.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a light, flickable bike for tight canyon roads or any form of off-road riding.
