Best for
Built as a straight-line spectacle and boulevard showpiece, it exists to deliver drag-strip acceleration and jaw-dropping presence rather than nimble handling.
Built for
It suits a rider who wants outrageous, car-engine torque and a one-of-a-kind automotive-meets-motorcycle novelty rather than traditional bike dynamics.
Not ideal for
It is a poor choice for new riders, tight urban commuting, cornering enthusiasts, or anyone wanting off-road capability given its near-zero ground clearance and vast size.

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