Best for
Built as a maxi-scooter for effortless commuting and relaxed long-distance touring rather than sport riding.
Built for
A refined, comfort-oriented grand tourer that trades outright agility for smooth power delivery, weather protection, and generous storage.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or a manual, engaging riding experience.

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