Best for: It's built primarily as a stylish, easygoing urban and backroad machine rather than a dedicated sport, touring, or off-road bike.
Built for: The air-cooled V-twin delivers a characterful, torquey but relaxed power delivery paired with classic Scrambler retro styling and a raw mechanical feel.
Not ideal for: It's not the right choice for riders wanting serious high-speed touring range, two-up long-distance comfort, or genuine off-road capability.

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