Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy, low-slung machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Purpose	A laid-back long-distance cruiser built for relaxed highway touring and two-up weekend trips, not spirited or aggressive riding.
Rider Fit	Big and heavy at 331kg dry with a long 1665mm wheelbase, low seat, feet-forward cruiser ergonomics and smooth shaft drive.
Character	Torquey, unhurried liquid-cooled V-twin with classic American-cruiser styling, easygoing manners and effortless roll-on comfort.
Not Ideal For	Not for beginners intimidated by weight, riders wanting nimble handling, canyon-carving, track days, or any off-road use.
