Best for: A retro-styled café racer built for spirited backroad riding and boulevard presence rather than outright track performance or long-distance touring.
Built for: Delivers a raw, mechanical, old-school Italian riding experience with strong low-to-mid range torque, distinctive shaft-drive shaft-jack feel, and premium Ohlins suspension for sharp, adjustable handling.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for off-road use, novice riders wanting neutral manners, or anyone seeking a plush, wind-protected, passenger-friendly tourer.

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