Best for: Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and style-driven short rides rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
Built for: A big, torquey air-cooled V-twin with a stripped-down blacked-out attitude that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or serious long-haul touring comfort.

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