| 2003-2009 Ridley Auto-Glide |
|---|
| Performance |   |
|---|
| With a low-revving 750cc motor based on a Briggs & Stratton industrial powerplant, the Ridley was predictably underwhelming. |
|
| Handling | |
|---|
| The Ridley was fairly maneuverable, but it was a poor corner-carver, even by cruiser standards. |
|
| Looks |  |
|---|
| It can be called either unsophisticated or downright crude looking, depending on how cruel you wish to be. |
|
| Reliability | |
|---|
| Owners' stories cover the gamut from fairly positive to horror stories. At the very least, quality control of individual units seems uneven. |
|
| Practicality | |
|---|
| The concept of a CVT motorcycle is nice, but there's not much to recommend a Ridley over a similarly-equipped scooter. Ridley's were overpriced. They are currently out of production, and the company is going through death throes: not good for future support. |
|
| Desirability | |
|---|
| A neat concept, but short on R&D and business smarts. |
