Best for: It's built as a big, muscular naked roadster for confident sport-touring and long-distance road riding rather than outright track performance.
Built for: The CB1300 delivers smooth, effortless in-line-four power and a relaxed, planted, old-school Honda feel geared toward mile-munching stability.
Not ideal for: It's not the right choice for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city lane-splitting.

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