Harley-Davidson Iron 883
The 2020 883 is a sporty bike that’s considered by Harley-Davidson as a beginner’s Sportster. It’s simple, with a V-twin air-cooled engine and a signature sound that we’ve all come to expect.
Although it’s not quite as powerful as the Sportster, it’s perfect as an entry-level version, especially with a price tag of just $8,999. There have been several upgrades since the line’s launch in the late 1950s, but the quality remains the same. This bike is available at a number of different colors and packs a powerful punch that fits most budgets.
Indian Scout Sixty
The 2020 Indian Scout Sixty is a superb entry-level bike that provides an easy ride, which has actually been called easy-going and manageable. With a low seat and pulled back handlebar, it has a sleek yet aggressive frame, perfect for new riders looking to show off around town.
Other reviews have said that it provides a top-notch ride in a great-looking platform and that owners are overjoyed with the price. At less than $9,000, the Scout Sixty is a real steal.
Triumph Street Twin
The Street Twin is hands down Triumph’s most successful product. Originally launched as the Bonneville in 1959, it still carries the spirit of the original make.
The 2020 model is a modern classic, giving off a retro feel while having all the power of today’s leading technology. One improvement that’s been made this year is the engine's durability. The best part? You can get one of these bestsellers for just $9,300.
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401
The 2020 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 has a rugged, modern exterior with hints of retro. With a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that pumps out 373cc, and a weight of just 335 pounds, it’s an excellent bike for moving around.
You can enjoy it cruising through the city or down winding, backcountry roads. And, with a price tag of just $5000, you really can’t go wrong with this machine.
Suzuki DR200S
This compact bike is the smallest of Suzuki’s dual-sport collection. It may not be as retro as the 1930s, but it does have roots that go back to the 90s, and its classic design hasn’t changed all that much.
The 2020 DR200S takes riders on a nostalgic journey down memory lane with its carbureted, air-cooled, two-valve motor, and five-speed, manual transmission. Even though the concept may have been born about two decades ago, today’s model provides a reliable, easy cruise down surface streets. However, there are better bikes for hitting the highways.
