Best for
Built as a torque-monster curiosity and engineering showcase, it favors thunderous low-rev pull and long-legged cruising over lightweight sportiness.
Built for
It has a brutish, industrial personality defined by massive diesel torque delivered low in the rev range, a distinctive exhaust note, and rock-steady stability from its counter-rotating crankshafts.
Not ideal for
It is not suited to riders seeking flickable agility, off-road capability, or a conventional high-revving sportbike experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
