8) 2017 Triumph Street Cup
Triumph will be on the shopping list of many motorcycle lovers with its new Street Cup. One reason is that it is not a high-priced bike, although it has a slew of great technologies. At around $10,500 it is also a head-turner with handsome styling that gives it a classic café racer aesthetic. The motorcycle has a 900 cc parallel twin engine, really great handling, and a highly-developed and capable suspension system. Adding to its appeal is the fact that it also has a more resonant and throaty-sounding exhaust. Low handle bars mean a forward, low, aerodynamic posture for the rider. The windshield is small but effective. Those features at that price point will ensure that it is one of the best bikes for a variety of riders.
