Upcoming Bikes Of 2019: Top Modern Classic Bikes

The year 2019 will see quite a few modern classic bikes which will be launched in India. British motorcycle brand Triumph Motorcycles will launch a whole new range of modern classics in the Triumph Bonneville family. But there will also be some affordable, made-in-India modern classic bikes. From the Royal Enfield Scrambler 500, the Jawa Perak to British the new Triumph Street Twin, Street Scrambler and Speed Twin models, here's a look at all the upcoming modern classic bikes which will be launched in 2019.

Royal Enfield Scrambler 500

The upcoming Royal Enfield Scrambler 500 has already been spotted while being tested on the public roads, and also at a dealership. The RE Scrambler 500 will be certainly launched in 2019, and earlier than you think, in all likelihood by the first quarter of 2019. The motorcycle will be the first Royal Enfield Scrambler and will be based on the Royal Enfield Classic 500. So, expect the chassis, cycle parts and engine to be the exact spec as the Classic 500. The only minor differences are cosmetic, with differently styled fenders and dual-sport tyres. One spy shot showed the Scrambler 500 with a solo seat, but this could be an accessory and the bike is expected to be available with a standard seat for two, and dual-channel ABS.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
