Best for: Built as a muscular power-cruiser for confident boulevard cruising and spirited straight-line acceleration rather than outright cornering agility.
Built for: Delivers a bold, torque-laden thumping character with strong brakes and premium suspension that reward relaxed, assertive riding over aggressive lean angles.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical roads.
