Best for
Built as a versatile do-it-all machine, equally happy commuting, carving backroads, or loading up for a multi-day tour.
Built for
A grounded, torque-rich parallel-twin allrounder with a Deltabox frame that rewards confident, relaxed cornering over outright aggression.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders chasing track-day lap times or serious off-road capability, as its road-biased tyres and modest ground clearance limit rough terrain use.

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