Best for: Built as a straight-line spectacle and boulevard showpiece, it exists to deliver brutal V8 acceleration and jaw-dropping presence rather than nimble handling.
Built for: It suits riders who want a bold, unmistakable statement bike that trades agility for raw displacement and shock value.
Not ideal for: It is not for riders seeking flickable cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, easy-to-manage everyday commuter.
