Total Motorcycle 2019 Motorcycle Model Guides

 

2019 Suzuki Katana

Suzuki Katana
Retro is the new black – or in this case, silver. Suzuki unveiled this fantastic recreation of their legendary 1981 Katana. Based on the GSX-S1000, the new Katana uses the same 148bhp engine and running gear, but wraps it in superbly stylish and angular bodywork, topped off with period Suzuki logo, chiseled chin and evocative square headlamp.

 

BMW R1250GS
When you’ve got a bike that already dominates a sector, the only way is down. So it’s no surprise that BMW keep evolving their flagship GS, persistently topping up its list of credentials to keep us coming back for more. And it’s certainly got more for 2019. Now boasting variable valve timing thanks to BMW’s new ShiftCam technology, there’s a serious boost in performance – and electronic aids, too.

 

2019 Indian FTR1200S

Indian FTR1200
Want the flat-track look, but also a bike that actually works on the road? Then the all-new FTR could be the one you’ve been waiting for. Rocking a 1203cc V-twin punching out a healthy 120bhp, and boasting some of the most finessed and under-stated styling genius blended with superb build quality – this really is a serious cat to have lobbed amongst the retro pigeons. Take a test ride.

 

Yamaha YZF-R125
The idea of the baby race replica is almost always blighted by awkward proportions and shonky corner-cutting. But just look at the new YZF-R125! It’s absolutely stunning. Razor-sharp aesthetics, high-end finishes and a pleasing dash all make the tiddler look every inch the superbike. If only 125cc bikes had always been this cool, there might be more people on our roads on two wheels.

 

2018 Moto Guzzi V85

Moto Guzzi V85TT
Creeping evolution, rather than revolution, is more Moto Guzzi’s mantra – but this new V85TT manages to blur the line between both. Subtly reinventing their transverse V-twin into the V85, they’ve then boldly reinvented the adventure bike with a retro twist. It’s not backward though, with an attractive new TFT dash and multimedia connectivity embarrassing many of its rivals.

 

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory
You’d be hard pushed to spot the difference between Tuonos most years, but there’s an easy clue to spotting the 2019 Factory – a set of wires poking out the fork tops. They herald the arrival of Öhlins EC2.0 semi-active electronic suspension, and probably guarantee that this already class-dominating super-naked street and track brawler has just got even more untouchable.

 

Ducati Scrambler Café Racer
Arguably already the most attractive and pleasing to ride of the 803cc Scrambler family, the Café Racer has only had a smattering of updates for 2019, but the combination of stylish new 17” laced rims wearing Pirelli Diablo Rosso IIIs, and an absolutely superb new 1970s paintjob that’s heightened by the blue frame and seat – it looks fantastic.

 

2019 Triumph Street Twin

Triumph Street Twin
The biggest selling modern classic in Triumph’s range was good, but a little gutless. That looks to have been cured for the new model year with a tangible kick in the pants for the popular retro. Now extracting 64bhp from the parallel-twin – an 18% hike – it also gets beefier Brembo brakes, suspension improvements, and riding modes and more. A surefire hit.

 

Kawasaki Z125
The Zed family looks have been handed down with great success on this funky all-new 125cc street bike. From the attractive trellis style frame, to the angular bodywork and impressive detailing – this is a cheeky looking return to the 125 sector for team green. It’s also joined by a faired Ninja version, but it’s the naked Z125 that really nails the big-bike presence and attitude.

 

Yamaha Tracer 700 GT
This year witnessed the arrival of the Tracer 900 GT, blending sports-tourer practicality with nutty naked hedonism, and now the MT-07-based Tracer 700 is following suit. Guaranteed to be one of the most versatile mid-capacity bikes on the market in 2019, it looks set to be perfect for the daily grind and weekend getaways, delivering budget practicality with a serious dose of fun.

 

2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
