Best for: Built for long-distance highway touring in comfort rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Built for: A classic American cruiser with a torquey V-twin heartbeat, full touring bodywork, and a relaxed, commanding riding position.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
