If you’re going for the classic cruiser look but want something different than a Harley-Davidson, the Triumph brand cruisers are solid backup options. Triumph is the UK’s largest motorcycle manufacturer and there are several models of bikes to choose from, some more exceptional than others. Harley-Davidson has a popular cruiser line, and the same can be said for Triumph, which is why it’s being named a great alternative if that’s what you’re looking for.
The Bonneville Speedmaster is a solid option for cruisers, and its base price of $13,995 puts it in line with compatible Harleys. The 1,200cc engine is lighter and more responsive than it’s been before, but it still brings its iconic design. It’s comfortable, performs well, and offers competitive pricing, making it a fine choice for a starter bike in the Triumph line. If cruisers aren’t what you’re looking for, there are many more options to look at — some cheaper, some more expensive, and some more underrated than others — so there’s something for everybody regardless of budget.
