Best for: Built for long-distance highway touring in maximum comfort rather than for sport riding or commuting.
Built for: A cruiser-styled American V-twin tourer that prioritizes relaxed torque delivery, wind protection, and plush two-up comfort over outright speed or cornering agility.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble machine for tight urban streets.

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