Best for: Built for long-haul highway touring in classic American style, hauling two-up with luggage across big distances in relaxed comfort.
Built for: Laid-back, torquey air-cooled V-twin that lopes along the interstate; more about relaxed cruising and presence than outright pace.
Not ideal for: Not for sport riders, city commuters wanting nimble handling, off-road use, or anyone intimidated by a very heavy low-speed machine.

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