Plus, for 2016, it’s full of improvements, keeping it even further out front. A new muffler both improves mass centralization and sounds even cooler. And then there’s that spectacular twin-cylinder engine: displacing 471cc, it delivers smooth power from idle to redline. Twins offer notoriously broad powerbands, and the CBR500R is no exception. And the available triple-disc anti-lock brakes feature a new adjustable brake lever this year. A perfect choice for new riders, returning riders, or anyone who appreciates a great do-it-all streetbike, the CBR500R is also an affordable choice. Belt Transmission✔ Anti-lock braking system

Honda’s CFR450R is the nuclear option in the motocross wars. For 2016, we’ve made some fine-tuning changes that make it a little better, but the big features that separate it from the pack remain. Details like a fork that’s five millimeters longer this year and a new shock link help make the CRF450R even more stable. There’s even a new chain roller to help.

Has there ever been a scooter that’s as cool and as much fun as the Honda Metropolitan? This little two-wheeled wonder has been a favorite for years. So stylish and smart, everybody who sees one instantly falls in love with it. And now, for 2016, the Metropolitan is better than ever. But we kept the best parts of the Metropolitan too: the practical under-seat storage area, the no-shift automatic transmission, and the fun and freedom that have always been standard equipment on this little two-wheel wonder.

And that’s the whole point. But the Ruckus is about way more than just its unique looks: its tough 49 cc Honda engine also gets awesome mileage. And riding couldn’t be more simple: its Honda V-Matic automatic transmission makes for no-shifting, seamless power in and out of traffic. So forget about that suit-and-tie world. There’s plenty of time for that later. Right now, it’s time to get on a Honda Ruckus and Ruck out on the rugged side of life. Electric Engine✔ Automatic Gearbox
