Best for: Built for effortless long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than for outright speed or sporty handling.
Built for: A classic American cruiser-tourer with relaxed torque-driven power delivery, deep V-twin character, and a plush, upright riding position designed for all-day comfort.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

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