Honda Super Cub C125 ABS
The Super Cub C125 ABS makes a great ride for novices and experienced riders alike. It has a semi-auto, four-speed transmission, and a step-through frame that makes it easy to climb on and off of.
Honda started producing Cubs in the 1950s, so it doesn’t get very much more retro. With super ergonomics, a comfortable seat, and great mileage, this bike makes an excellent daily drive in the city. Honda is selling the 2020 model off the showroom floor at $3,649, making it one of the more affordable options on our list.
Honda CB650R
The 2020 Honda CB650R is sort of a cross between retro and futuristic. It has a simple yet sleek design, and a 649cc, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine.
It is definitely one of the better looking and more customizable in Honda’s café style Neo Sports collection. It delivers a smooth but powerful ride, whether you’re driving to work in the city, or for fun through the mountains.
Scrambler Ducati Desert Sled
This retro-style bike first hit the scene in 1962, Though at that time, it was produced in 125cc-450cc. Now, at 803cc and 73 hp, it’s a lot more powerful. But it still has the classic feel that fans have come to know and love.
The line comes available in a few different types, from standard to café style. While most scrambler models have a tougher time on non-paved roads, the Ducati Desert Sled handles well on most terrains. You can get your hands on the bike for $11,995.
Yamaha XSR900
A couple of months ago, motorcycle.com ran a review of the 2020 Yamaha XSR900, and, like most other publications, ended up giving it pretty high praise.
With its classic build, it’s nice and understated on the road. And, although it isn’t explicitly retro, its simple design makes it feel timeless in 2020. Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Throttle gives precise throttle control. The price of less than $9,500 makes it an ideal buy for those looking for quality rides at affordable rates.
Indian FTR1200
Indian FTR1200 comes equipped with a v-twin, liquid-cooled engine putting out an impressive 1,203cc. If you chose the classic model and drove it away off the showroom floor, you would pay nearly $13,500.
For $5,730 more, you can add on the rally kit — one of their customizable kits, which adds on a super-retro feel and upgraded features, including an all-weather aviator saddle and new fenders, among other things.
