We've all heard the grousing. "Motorcycles are just too darned expensive these days!" So what do you do if you want a desirable new ride, straight off the showroom floor with a warranty, but you don't have a five-figure budget to spend? Well, Zack and Spurgeon have some suggestions for you.
In this episode of the Highside/Lowside motorcycle podcast, the hosts fly alone without a guest and take a run through their favorite choices for new motorcycles you can buy in 2025 that have an MSRP of under $10,000. They divide up the possibilities into categories of adventure, sport and sport naked, dual-sport and dirt, cruiser, and standards and retro bikes. In each category, you'll get Zack's favorite pick, Spurgeon's top choice, and at the end of it all they attempt to come together and agree on one top option for each category.
