There’s something about retro motorcycles that makes modern bikes feel like disposable tech gadgets. The sweep of a hand-polished tank, a round headlamp that isn’t pretending to be a transformer’s eye, chrome that actually shines – it all taps into the part of you that wants to ride into a sepia-toned sunset. And thanks to fuel injection and ABS, you can do it without the oil leaks and morning kick-start rituals.
Harley-Davidson Street Glide
Price: ₹39.29 lakh
A full-dress bagger with a retro touring soul. Batwing fairing, acres of chrome and hard saddlebags make it the ultimate old-school highway cruiser, complete with modern infotainment.
Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
Price: ₹25.69 lakh
The Fat Boy is unapologetically American, with fat tyres, a solid disc front wheel and a long, low profile. It’s been a screen icon since Terminator 2 and still turns heads like nothing else.
BMW R 12 nineT
Price: ₹21.10 lakh
BMW’s heritage roadster is all about fine details. Machined aluminium, brushed metal and perfectly stitched seats wrap around a torquey boxer engine. It’s a custom show bike you can buy straight from the showroom.
Kawasaki Z900RS
Price: ₹17.47 lakh
A superbike in 1970s disguise. The Z900RS channels the legendary Z1 with its ducktail seat, four-into-one exhaust and rounded headlamp. It’s a retro that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster
Price: ₹12.05 lakh
A laid-back cruiser with Bonneville DNA. Swept-back bars, a low seat and plenty of chrome make it a great highway companion, while still keeping that timeless British look.
Ducati Scrambler Icon
Price: ₹9.96 lakh
Italian flair meets 1960s scrambler cool. The Scrambler Icon is playful, with bright colours, chunky tyres and just enough retro detail to make you smile every time you park it.
Triumph Street Twin
Price: ₹9.09 lakh
The Street Twin takes the Bonneville spirit and distills it into something more urban. Shorter wheelbase, minimal bodywork and just the right amount of blacked-out metal make it an everyday classic with grit.
Kawasaki W800
Price: ₹7.33 lakh
The W800 is Kawasaki’s love letter to the British bikes that inspired the company’s early models. Air-cooled parallel twin, tank knee pads, and deep chrome – it is a masterclass in restraint and balance.
Royal Enfield Classic 650
Price: ₹3.49 lakh
The Classic 650 takes everything people loved about the 350 and gives it more muscle. Sweeping fenders, timeless paint schemes and a plush seat make it a machine for long, unhurried rides.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
Price: ₹3.46 lakh
A café racer in the purest sense, the Continental GT 650 pairs classic British style with a relaxed modern twin. Clip-ons, rear-set pegs and a hunched riding position make it feel like you should be wearing a leather jacket with a club badge.
BSA Gold Star 650
Price: ₹3.09 lakh
The Gold Star is back, complete with a big single-cylinder thump and a silhouette straight from 1956. It’s beautifully proportioned, with wire-spoke wheels, a teardrop tank and more chrome than a rockabilly’s hairdo.
Triumph Thruxton 400
Price: ₹2.74 lakh
Think café racer, but scaled down for city life. The Thruxton 400 channels the original 1960s racer with clip-on bars, sculpted tank and just enough modern kit to make it daily usable. It’s the closest you’ll get to vintage racing style without having to actually race.
Honda Hness CB350
Price: ₹2.10 lakh
Honda’s take on a retro roadster is clean and understated, with a touch of Japanese precision in the detailing. The long tank, low-slung seat and chrome fenders make it a handsome everyday classic, backed by Honda’s bulletproof reliability.
Jawa 350
Price: ₹1.98 lakh
The 1960s Czech icon is reborn with cleaner lines and a bigger engine. The modern Jawa 350 keeps the slim silhouette and old-school tank badge, with a rich exhaust note that’s more Sunday morning ride than commuter grind.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350
Price: ₹1.76 lakh
The oldest name in continuous production still wears its military roots on its sleeve. The new Bullet 350 may share its engine with the Classic, but it still rides with a slower, more deliberate charm. The stance is tall, the chrome is plentiful, and the pinstriping is still done by hand in Chennai.
