Best for: Built as a radical-styled boulevard cruiser and show bike, it's meant for making a visual statement on straight, smooth roads rather than for performance riding.
Built for: It rewards a laid-back, image-conscious rider who values sound, stance, and torque-rich cruising over cornering agility or ride refinement.
Not ideal for: This is not the bike for riders seeking nimble handling, all-day touring comfort, passenger accommodation, or any kind of off-road capability.

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