Best for: It's built for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard touring rather than outright speed or sharp handling.
Built for: The big 52-degree V-twin with dual spark plugs and shaft drive gives it a smooth, torquey, unhurried character typical of a classic American-style cruiser.
Not ideal for: This is not the right bike for riders seeking quick agility, off-road capability, or aggressive cornering performance.

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