Best for: Designed as a versatile scrambler-adventure crossover for mixed road riding with light off-road capability rather than serious dirt work.
Built for: A characterful, retro-styled parallel-twin that favors relaxed, torquey delivery and all-round usability over outright speed or track focus.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road prowess, sportbike-level cornering performance, or a lightweight, low-seat commuter.

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