Best for
Built for relaxed, low-speed cruising and short commutes rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Built for
It has the classic small-cruiser feel, with a V-twin-styled engine burble and laid-back riding position rather than sharp sporting manners.
Not ideal for
This is not the bike for riders wanting highway overtaking power, long motorway touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

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