Kawasaki W800

Finally, after much hula-hoops, Team Green has announced that the W800 is coming to America for 2020. Although there was the W800 Café, some hated the drop-down handlebar.

Moto Guzzi V7III Racer 10th Anniversary

The Street Twin has been the Hinckley brand’s most popular unit within its modern-classic lineup.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

In a bid to create a niche market for themselves, the Bullet maker decided to step up their game both in the number of cylinders and capacity. The contemporary urban styling cues are boldly shown with those clean looking lines and minimal bodywork designed, keeping in mind the voguish attitude it needs to carry.

Suzuki SV650X

What looks like a standard SV650 kitted with aftermarket parts, the SV650X isn’t groundbreaking per se. It gets a few styling tweaks in the form of a slotted headlamp cowl and side panels in the front that has a beautiful flowing design.
