Best for
Built for bold, low-slung boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than covering ground quickly or attacking corners.
Built for
A muscular, chest-thumping factory custom that pairs a torquey big V-twin with fat tires and blacked-out styling for maximum street presence.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a light and nimble daily commuter.

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