Best for: Built for muscular boulevard cruising and straight-line torque thrills rather than corner carving or long-distance touring.
Built for: It has a brawny, aggressive personality defined by big V-twin torque, a wide rear tire stance, and a stripped-down muscle cruiser attitude.
Not ideal for: This is not the right bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

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