Manufacturers of motorized vehicles have had even more time to develop, improve, and construct the finest new motorcycles in 2022 after several big shows and public launches were postponed as a result of the epidemic last year.

After the long global lockdowns, your desire for freedom and adventure will be stronger than ever! What could be better than a new motorcycle to celebrate life’s exciting moments?

Of course, there’s a lot to think about before purchasing one of the new high-end 2022 motorcycles. That’s why we’ve put up this list to assist you in determining which motorcycle is right for you in 2022.

But first, let’s look into the reasons why 2022 is such a good year for buying one of these top 12 best motorcycles.

Top 12 Popular Motorcycle

1962 Norton Manx

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

I’ve never driven one, but I’ve seen a couple and agree with a Facebook friend, former Commonwealth Racing factotum, and jet-setting vintage F1 racing cool guy Martin Adams, who claims he is “the most beautiful m/c I have ever owned and admired… great sound at speed.”

The ’62 was the last year for which Norton Motorcycles, Ltd.

They produce these motorcycles, and thus it has all of the cutting-edge technology available at that time, such as not much.

The Manx is more than just a cool machine for the over-50 crowd; it’s a timeless design that every Roland Sands-like wannabe still tries to bend every rusted CB350 and Sportster into.

If you’re fortunate enough to be in a position to get a Manx (replicas aren’t that costly), you know you need one. I’d add lights and a Fatbar to my bike, call it quits. Perhaps some vintage-style king/queen seats and sissy bars

Royal Enfield Meteor 350

While the Royal Enfield Meteor 350’s engine, which has a small displacement and low horsepower, may not be pushing the limits of speed and performance, it has already won many accolades, including IMOTY 2021 and Two-Wheeler of the Year!

With its beautiful high-quality retro design, competitive price, and distance of 300+ miles on offer, this cruiser is an excellent starting point for anybody looking to travel around town or take weekend trips.

Kawasaki Ninja 400

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

The Ninja 400 is a lightweight, budget-friendly, useful, and cool-looking motorcycle with the appropriate engine for novices who want to learn how to ride well but avoid receiving too many speeding tickets.

Other sporty, road-oriented motorcycles exist, but the majority of them have single cylinders that can buzz at high speeds. The twin-cylinder of Ninja’s, on the other hand, is smooth on highways but still light enough to be controlled in normal traffic and parking lots.

It’s a fine example of Kawi’s decades-long expertise. ABS is worth an extra $300, so make sure to add it in. Because the 2020 model is identical to the 2019 version, a used Ninja 400 will perform equally as well.

Royal Enfield Himalayan

The Himalayan is a South Asian design that was originally designed and built in India by Indians for Indians but can now be purchased by North Americans for $4,999.

Although it doesn’t compare to its Japanese and German counterparts, most of us over 50 are equally as unsophisticated. In our most recent Baja comparison, the Royal Enfield achieved excellent marks in two key categories where fogies are concerned: comfort!

If you enjoy ADV on a budget and/or getting the most out of Early Bird Special to bingo night to Blanche’s double-wide for a drink and bedtime, the Himalayan could be the bike for you.

Triumph Trident 660

The Triumph Trident 660 is a brilliant middleweight addition to the Triumph line-up. Like other Triumph models, the Trident 660 includes a torquey inline-three engine and 10,000-mile maintenance intervals that make it highly economical and equally accessible to new riders on a budget.

Its small size, lightweight, and low seating position combine to make it a wonderful ride.

Triumph Thruxton RS

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

This is the one to covet in Triumph’s wonderful collection of modern motorcycles that look old. The RS begins where the Thruxton leaves off, which was praised for being a contemporary, sporty, and comfortable machine disguised as a magnificent vintage cafe racer.

This one is upgraded with a rear suspension from Öhlins, twin 310mm Brembo front brakes, nimble Metzler Racetec tires, and also a lighter-weight battery.

For starters, the parallel-twin engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, and camshafts. The transmission also gets a new clutch as part of the upgrade. That implies 7 more horsepower, greater low-end torque, and a higher redline.

Kawasaki ZRX1200

The MOron cohort burned out the mainframe digitally stimulating themselves when the new Z900RS Kawasaki appeared on the scene the very last year, but what they’re really willing to pay for (and a half of them already have) is this bike, which was launched in 2001 (followed by the ZRX1100 beginning in ’97).

These are easy-to-ride, bulletproof, and mostly idiot-proof, comparable to the Suzuki Bandit 1200 but with a bit more of a tucked-in John Force t-shirt style.

Yamaha Tenere 700

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

For all road types, the latest Yamaha adventure bike is a beautiful steed. Its mid-displacement engine combines dependability with substantial power output, excellent linear torque, and improved efficiency.

The ergonomics were inspired by rally racing, allowing the rider increased agility without sacrificing comfort.

The Yamaha Tenere 700 is a capable dirt bike that handles well on both tarmac and dirt tracks. It’s a great all-around motorcycle for a reasonable price!

Ducati Panigale V2

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

It’s not the quickest motorbike you can buy. It isn’t even the quickest Ducati model on the market. For people of us who ride in metropolitan areas with speed limits and automobiles, the V2’s calm is what makes it so great for performance riding.

The V2 comes with a 441-pound frame and 155 horsepower. Enough to excite any motorcyclist on a highway onramp or race day, yet still manageable at congested intersections. The V2 also has modern electronic aids that can assist you in approaching the bike’s limits without breaking the bank.

A six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that measures lean angle to assist the braking and traction control systems is among them. The V2 is high-tech, lightning-fast, stunningly beautiful, and everything that Ducati does better than anybody else.

650 LT Kawasaki Versys

650 LT Kawasaki Versys

I knew a lot of ex-motorcycle journalists ten years ago who all rode Bandit 1200s. I’m now acquainted with five riders who downsized to a Versys 650 for everyday transportation and couldn’t be happier.

Anyway, regarding their motorcycle. Heck, the Chris Kallfelz east coast correspondent with just bought a new LT with his own real cash. And at least one other MO editor will confess to owning one as well. There are no names mentioned.

The LT variant includes hand luggage, making it about as practical as a VW Beetle.

KTM 890 Adventure

The Austrian KTM 890 Adventure is a superb long-term investment for any serious rider looking to hit the road – whether it’s smooth cross-country tarmac or a challenging off-road dirt trail.

The bike features an awesome 889cc engine with 105 horsepower and solid linear torque. As well as long servicing intervals and low fuel consumption.

The KTM 890 Adventure is built for comfort on lengthy journeys and off-road objectives, with excellent ergonomics and ease of use. 

2022 BMW R 1250 GS

Popular Motorcycle - Top 12 Biker's Choices

The 2021 BMW R 1250 GS, which comes with a large-displacement boxer engine shared by many of the company’s motorcycles, has cutting-edge performance on and off-road.

The bike’s low fuel consumption and the optional eco-driving mode make it as efficient as possible. The 2022 BMW R 1250 GS comes standard with new color schemes and a different range of riding modes.
