Best for: Built for spirited road riding and aggressive cornering rather than commuting comfort or long-distance touring.
Built for: It has the raw, characterful feel of an Italian V-twin, with strong torque delivery, exotic engineering details like Termignoni exhausts and Brembo brakes, and an emphasis on rider engagement over refinement.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for off-road riders, passengers seeking plush comfort, or those wanting a relaxed, wind-protected touring machine.

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