Best for
Designed primarily as an agile, fun urban and B-road naked bike rather than a high-speed or long-distance machine.
Built for
The V-twin engine gives a torquey, characterful feel with smooth low-to-mid range pull rather than outright top-end thrills.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders wanting serious touring range, passenger comfort, or off-road capability.

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