Best for: Best suited to relaxed street riding, weekend cruising, and short trips rather than aggressive sport riding or long-haul touring.
Built for: A laid-back, air-cooled V-twin roadster that favors smooth torque delivery and classic naked-bike charm over sharp handling or high-revving excitement.
