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.
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.
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.
BMW R Nine T Pure Racer
No one expects a low-price tag along with a BMW, but the early asking price of nearly $12,000 for the Racer seemed a bit much a few years back.
Luckily, they decided to drop the price for the 2020 version, making it more affordable to other riders. It's a lot more affordable than some of the similar BMW machines, which sit at over $15,000. This is the perfect bike for those who plan to do a lot of their own customization, and don’t want to pay for parts they’ll end up removing anyway.
Suzuki DR650S
This year’s DR650S is the definition of a living classic. Dating back to the 1900s, the compact and powerful model includes a 644cc, air-cooled single-engine, and 44 horsepower.
It is the largest in Suzuki’s dual-sport collection and has the appearance of a dirt bike — fitting since it does better off-road than on. It is still capable of riding smoothly down the highway and moving through traffic as needed. Unlike most of the other bikes on our list so far, the DR650S only comes available in one color, Iron Grey.
