Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with some experience handling big, heavy cruiser-tourers, as the 349kg dry weight demands confident low-speed control. |
| Purpose | Built for relaxed long-distance highway cruising with panniers and a windscreen rather than sport riding or commuting. |
| Rider Fit | A tall, heavy machine with a low 700mm seat height that helps shorter riders reach the ground despite its substantial bulk. |
| Character | A big-torque British cruiser that delivers effortless, laid-back power with a distinctive parallel-twin 270-degree firing pulse. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering performance, track days, or off-road capability. |
