Best for
It exists as a rolling spectacle and straight-line muscle cruiser, built to deliver car-engine power and a thunderous soundtrack rather than nimble handling.
Built for
It has a brash, larger-than-life personality, blending drag-strip acceleration with a laid-back cruiser silhouette and a genuine V8 rumble unlike anything else on two wheels.
Not ideal for
It is not for riders who want agile cornering, off-road capability, or an easy time filtering through tight urban traffic.

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