Best for
Built primarily for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads, where its light weight and strong midrange torque let it dive into corners and accelerate hard out of them.
Built for
A raw, characterful V-twin superbike with a muscular exhaust note and a visceral, unfiltered connection between throttle and rear tire.
Not ideal for
This is not the right choice for new riders, those seeking plush all-day comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or off-road use.

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