brands of motorcycles Page 7

Motorcycle brands are a global buffet, and yes, you can go back for seconds.

Big names include Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, BMW, Ducati, Triumph, Harley‑Davidson, Royal Enfield, Aprilia, Husqvarna, Indian, Moto Guzzi, CFMOTO, GasGas, and Beta.

For commuters and learners, the Japanese fours and CFMOTO keep things affordable; for adventure, think KTM, BMW, Honda and Triumph; for cruisers, Harley and Indian; for sportbikes, Ducati, Aprilia and the usual Japanese suspects.

If you’re chasing rarity, boutique makers like MV Agusta and Bimota sprinkle in drama like chilli flakes.

Pick your poison based on ergonomics, service network and budget—your backside and your wallet get a vote.
