Best for: Built as a bold, styling-forward power cruiser for boulevard cruising and weekend showing off rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
Built for: A chest-thumping, chrome-laden cruiser with a big-bore 106ci V-Twin that delivers strong, lazy torque and a distinctive fat 250mm rear tyre look over outright agility.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for riders wanting a nimble commuter, an off-road capable machine, or a bike focused on aggressive cornering performance.

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