Best for
Built as a muscular sport tourer, it prioritizes brutal top-end speed and long-distance stability over nimble city maneuvering.
Built for
The Daytona 1200 has a raw, muscular character defined by its huge in-line four powerplant and relentless straight-line pull rather than razor-sharp cornering agility.
Not ideal for
This is not the right bike for new riders, off-road use, or anyone seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight urban streets.

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