Yamaha Bolt
Yamaha fans will be happy to know that the budget-friendly Bolt is back, and the 2020 model has proven to be pretty popular this summer. It has a 60-degree V-twin engine packed with electronic fuel injection, a retro compact feel. This bike is a great option for everyone from beginners to advanced riders.
First emerging on the market in 2014 as the Star Bolt, it’s now available in two separate models: The Bolt, and the Bolt R-Spec. The latter includes a few upgrades that the original doesn’t have, and is available for just a few hundred dollars more.
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.
Yamaha SCR950
The 2020 Yamaha SCR950 features an attractive, versatile design inspired by the scramblers of the 1960s. Now the retro aesthetic is combined with cutting-edge modern technology in this powerful and easy-to-handle machine.
The bike includes a V-twin, air-cooled engine, that pumps out 942cc, along with comfortable ergonomics like the wide handlebar. Whether you decide to hit the streets or the trails, you’ll find the SCR950 does it all.
Triumph Bobber TFC
The Triumph Bobber is one seriously sleek ride. With some beastly insides that match the rugged exterior, it’s no wonder why it’s one of the more popular retro bikes of the year.
On the TFC, you get an enhanced torque, along with aero titanium mufflers and carbon fiber endcaps. The bike has a fully adjustable front suspension system and 1200cc via a liquid-cooled twin engine. All of this power comes along at a price: $17,500, to be exact.
Norton Atlas Ranger
The Atlas Ranger is a newer model from the British company. Its body style suggests it’s influenced by bikes of the past. Built to be handled mainly off-road, it’s perfect for those looking for an adventurer.
It comes equipped with a liquid-cooled, 650cc parallel-twin engine that provides 84 hp. If you want a stylish ride that you can take on any type of terrain, this is a great option. But with a price tag of $15,650, it’s definitely a bit more expensive than some others on our list.
