Best for: Built for long-distance highway touring in maximum comfort rather than sporty riding or quick errands.
Built for: A plush, stable, gadget-laden touring machine that trades cornering agility for confidence-inspiring three-wheel security and armchair-like comfort.
Not ideal for: Not for riders seeking the lean-and-carve agility of a traditional sport or naked motorcycle, or anyone needing a lightweight, narrow vehicle for tight city lanes and off-road trails.
