Herald Scrambler 125
The 2020 Herald Scrambler 125 is sold in the UK and produced in China. And, at just $3130, you couldn’t expect a luxury bike. But compared to a lot of China-made bikes in the same price range, it’s actually not that bad of a ride.
It does weigh less than 280 pounds, so it’s not the sturdiest or strongest, but it’s perfect for getting from point A to point B, especially in paved areas. It has a low seat, with the signature scrambler-style saddle, perfect for shorter rides.

The 2020 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a steal at just $5,999. The café style cruiser has a 648cc, air & oil-cooled twin-engine. It is separated from the bodywork via a dual cradle frame.
The retro-style dates back to the 1960s. It still holds that classics feel along with the signature horizontal split through the center of the bike.

The bike is currently on the market for right below $6,000.
Yamaha V Star 250
The 2020 Yamaha V Star 250 has a unique air-cooled engine, with 249ccs of smooth-yet-noticeable power. The bike almost acts like a time machine, transporting riders back to 1988, when the first of its line was made.
Today it still comes along in the same retro style, equipped with a carburetor, twin shocks, and a rear drum brake. Taking the bike on the highway? No problem. It will deliver 78 miles to the gallon in fuel. Plus, at $4,349, it’s one great ride that comes wrapped in an affordable package.
