the Triumph Speed 400, and this might be one of the best choices on this list for someone who wants retro styling without committing to a cruiser-style riding position

the Kawasaki Eliminator 450, and this motorcycle proves that a low seat doesn't have to mean sacrificing performance.

Triumph speed 400 will be my first choice next year unless Yamaha/Kawasaki introduce a 400-600 cc retro bike 2027.

I'm sorry but for me at 64, 20hp is simply not enough. That gives a cruising speed of only 50mph which is 10 mph too low. However with Honda hopefully soon to launch the GB500 which has 28 hp - that would be enough bhp for me, and allow cruising at 60mph - never mind the low seat, i need a centre stand with sensible pillion and luggage provision. Extra boxes ticked for a five speed gearbox and an air cooled engine. the lack of centre stand is not simply an omission but rather a sinical deliberate ploy to stop an owner from carrying out routine maintenance. Hence no centre stand NO SALE. All this likely explains why i am still riding my 2002 CB500s - nothing sold since can match the combination of attributes that it has. And before that? x2 Honda XBR500's that went to 112,000 and 90,000 miles before being sold on.

Why all the talk about senior riders, when the test riders look to be very young?

The Eliminator uses a 451cc parallel-twin engine producing around 51 horsepower, giving it considerably more highway capability than its relaxed cruiser appearance might suggest
