Best for
It's built for spirited sport riding and twisty backroads where the V-twin's midrange punch and light chassis shine.
Built for
The FireStorm has a raw, characterful V-twin feel with strong torque delivery rather than the screaming top-end rush of an inline-four sportbike.
Not ideal for
It's not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any serious off-road capability.

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