Best for: Built as an adventure-touring all-rounder, happiest covering long distances on mixed pavement and light gravel roads rather than chasing outright speed.
Built for: A charming, character-rich shaft-driven V-twin that prioritizes torque-rich, easygoing cruising and long-haul comfort over aggressive performance.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp sportbike acceleration, aggressive cornering clip-ons, or serious technical off-road capability.

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