Best for: Best suited to relaxed urban commuting, weekend backroad rides, and light touring rather than outright performance.
Built for: A retro-styled, easygoing classic roadster that emphasizes charm, shaft-drive simplicity, and unhurried torque over speed.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders wanting strong acceleration, sport-bike agility, or any genuine off-road capability.

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