Best for: Built for effortless, brutal straight-line acceleration and long-haul cruising with a muscular, intimidating presence rather than for flicking through tight corners.
Built for: A charismatic power cruiser that combines a torque-monster three-cylinder engine with premium suspension and brakes for a surprisingly composed ride given its size.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, nimble bike for tight urban streets.
