Harley-Davidson

Road Glide Limited

Watch

Harley's Road Glide Limited is the most fully equipped model in the Road Glide family — a frame-mounted sharknose fairing with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, Tour-Pak trunk, hard saddlebags, heated and cooled seats, heated grips, and the Boom! Box GTS infotainment system from the factory. At 932 lb it is the heavyweight of the touring class; riders deciding between the Road Glide and Street Glide families should test both fairing styles before committing.

KawasakiVulcan S

Cruiser · 2024 Base

Kawasaki's Vulcan S uses the Ninja 650's 649cc parallel-twin in a cruiser chassis with the Ergo-Fit system that adjusts seat, footpegs, and handlebars to fit a wide range of rider sizes — the most physically adaptable beginner cruiser available. Used at $4,000–$6,500, it is the strongest value in the entry cruiser segment for buyers who don't need V-twin character.

KawasakiZ900RS

Naked · 2024 Base

The Z900RS wraps Kawasaki's 948cc inline-four in Z1-heritage retro styling — the same engine family as the Z900, giving it modern performance behind the classic aesthetic while keeping cornering ABS and TFT instrumentation on ABS-equipped models. Buyers choosing between it and the Triumph Bonneville T120 are trading the T120's parallel-twin character for a higher-revving four-cylinder with a more contemporary chassis; a 2024 front tire recall (24V270000) affects ABS variants — verify completion before purchase.
