Best for
Built for sharp, flickable handling on twisty tarmac and light backroad duty rather than outright top-end speed or long-distance cruising.
Built for
A punchy, characterful big-bore single with supermoto attitude, rewarding aggressive throttle and brake inputs with agile, playful handling.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting a smooth, comfortable, or fast highway tourer with strong wind protection and a plush ride.

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