Best for
Built purely as a statement bike for boulevard cruising and show-stopping style rather than outright speed or utility.
Built for
A laid-back, torque-driven X-Wedge V-twin cruiser that rewards relaxed throttle rolling and highway cruising over quick direction changes.
Not ideal for
Not for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a nimble bike for tight city traffic and parking.

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