7 Awesome Motorcycles You Might’ve Missed from BSA, Indian, Yamaha and More

Paying tribute to the original Indian riders who gathered to race around Sturgis way back in 1938, this limited-edition bike boasts a classic two-tone red-and-cream paint scheme, headdress logo and painted number recalling bikes of that era. Other throwback elements include the illuminated warbonnet, skirted fenders, wire-spoke wheels, brown solo seat and vintage bars. Yet under the hood it packs plenty of modern power and tech, including the brand’s air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin engine producing 120 ft-lbs. of torque, three ride modes and a 4-inch round touchscreen display for accessing navigation, weather, bike data and more.

Now boasting a Doctor Doom skin, this bike punches above its displacement in the crowded Indian commuter segment. Paired to a five-speed gearbox, its 124.8cc three-valve single produces an affable 11.22 horsepower and 8.7 ft-lbs of torque. Top variants add a TFT display, iGO riding modes with Boost, single-channel ABS and a 5-step adjustable mono-shock.

As a tribute to great American racer Kenny Roberts, Yamaha added a new ‘Legend Yellow’ option to its 2026 XSR900 GP catalog. Bearing the iconic speed block livery, the color scheme transforms the GP from a mere lookalike into a true period-correct imitator. Even better, the bike is back in the news this week thanks to California Air Resources Board paperwork indicating it is finally coming to the United States, likely later this year.

BSA’s revived 350 returns to the headlines thanks to its new Mist Green colorway, which pays tribute to the original 1948 Bantam. It’s a modern bike nonetheless, boasting a 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC single producing 29 horsepower and 22 ft-lbs of torque through a 6-speed gearbox. Dual-channel ABS, telescopic forks and twin adjustable rear shocks underpin the chassis, while a round headlight, teardrop tank and digital dash balance retro style with modern utility.

This sci-fi-inspired electric café racer is built around what Real Motors calls an Electric Analogue philosophy: modern EV power delivered with an old-school, analog riding feel. It boasts a PMSM Drive making 100 horsepower and a pretty bonkers 738 ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheel, plus on-board level 2 charging, premium suspension and a small screen that appears to deliver critical info about the bike but not too much else, as intended.

This Ninja pairs a 636cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine with a pressed-aluminum perimeter frame, a combination that delivers strong low- and mid-range torque without sacrificing top-end push. Tech-wise, it’s loadedwith KQS quick-shift, three-mode KTRC traction control, KIBS anti-lock brakes, a 4.3-inch TFT display. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires and dual 310mm radial-mount calipers round out the compelling package.

The Leten LT190 is an underbone-style adventure moto that punches well above its class. Its liquid-cooled 188cc single comes with DLC coating and a CVT. Standard tech includes switchable ABS, traction control, heated grips and even keyless ignition. Along with some hand guards and a high-mount front fender, it rocks a slick rear pillion that doubles as a luggage rack and backrest.
