Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who understand the quirks of long-rake, wide-tire custom choppers.
PurposeBuilt as a bold style statement and boulevard cruiser rather than a performance or utility machine.
Rider FitThe extreme 41-degree rake, low seating, and wide 300mm rear tire demand deliberate, muscular inputs at parking-lot speeds and low-speed maneuvers.
CharacterA head-turning, hand-built American V-twin chopper with a big-inch S&S motor that prioritizes attitude and presence over agility.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort.
