Best for
Built primarily as a lightweight, air-cooled enduro machine for trails, dirt roads, and occasional street use rather than sustained highway travel.
Built for
A raw, mechanical, and rugged big-single that rewards riders who enjoy simplicity, direct feedback, and old-school enduro character over refinement.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking a smooth, comfortable long-distance tourer or a passenger-friendly two-up machine.

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