Best for
Built as a versatile naked all-rounder, equally happy commuting, weekend twisty-road riding, or light sport use.
Built for
The 90-degree V-twin delivers a torquey, characterful power delivery with linear, approachable throttle response rather than outright top-end speed.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or class-leading outright performance.

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