Motorcycle CAP indexes
The three indices from The two-wheeled unicorn applied to a selection of bikes, including all those named in the article. Green cells satisfy the relevant index (≥ 1); amber cells do not. Affordability is calculated against local GDP per capita at the time of pricing. Hover any index value to see the calculation; hover the feature count for the comfort breakdown. Lean angle is the maximum before the bike touches down.

The Triumph Trident 660 misses the Affordability threshold at the Spanish reference price (A = 0.93). At its UK launch price of £7,695 against a UK GDP per capita of approximately £34,000, A ≈ 1.10. The index is market-dependent; this one is close enough to call either way.
