For those who’d rather ride their motorcycle than have it take space in the driveway as art, the new triumph classics hit hard. You get the benefit of 1970s styling without the problems that a 30+ year old bike will most certainly give you. With a large amount of aftermarket support, you can build yourself a respectable cafe racer if desired. These new bikes feature fuel injection, modern tires, suspension, and electronics, so you’re sure to do more riding than wrenching if you own one of these. They are high on my list of next bike to own.
