Rider Profile
| Best For | Best for experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy 400kg+ machine at low speeds; not a beginner's first bike despite its low seat. |
| Purpose | A full-dress touring bagger built for long-haul highway miles two-up, with fairing, hard luggage and huge torque for effortless cruising. |
| Rider Fit | Low 730mm seat and forward controls, but 895 lb weight and wide bars demand strength when parking. Relaxed, feet-forward armchair ergonomics. |
| Character | Big, plush, torque-rich American-style V-twin tourer. Smooth liquid-cooled 1700cc engine and belt drive make relaxed, unhurried mile-eating its calling. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for off-road, track days, tight-city darting or anyone wanting a light, nimble, sporty ride. Its mass punishes low-speed maneuvering. |
