Best for: Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and show-worthy styling rather than outright speed or distance-eating touring.
Built for: A classic factory custom with a big air-cooled V-twin rumble, chopper-inspired styling, and relaxed, torque-heavy delivery over high-rev performance.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort.

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