Best for
Built primarily as an urban and back-road naked bike, favoring nimble handling over outright speed or long-distance capability.
Built for
A revvy, high-strung 400cc inline-four that rewards spinning it up rather than relying on low-end torque, giving a lively, engaged feel at city speeds.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, heavy passenger duty, or any off-road use.

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