There are two reasons to get a motorcycle. 1) You can’t afford it right now and 2) snow’s on the way. Point being you never need a reason to ride, boss. If you look at your bike or your guitars like you look at your own Mom, we can be friends. Here are four motorcycles worth checking out for next year.

The first thing you need to know is you can’t get this motorcycle unless you own a Lamborghini, so get going. The 2023 Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini starts at $68,000.

A numbered and limited edition of 630 + 63 units

“The livery of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini was defined through a collaboration between Centro Stile Ducati and Centro Stile Lamborghini,” says Ducati.

63 is the number that recalls the founding year of the Sant'Agata Bolognese company. 630 also constitutes the number of examples to be produced by Ducati, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. In addition, a limited and numbered series of 63 units reserved for special Lamborghini customers who will have the opportunity to customize the bike with body colors and rims identical to the car they own.

The heart of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with a power output of 208 hp with MotoGP-derived desmodromic distribution. Those are sweetly ferocious numbers. Get yours today.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but what’s up next year for the old reliable V-Strom are several new and useful electronic rider aids such as cornering-aware ABS and traction control, grade-aware rear-wheel lift mitigation, weight awareness, hill hold, an up/down quickshifter, and cruise control. Also, the ride-by-wire throttle gets retuned, and the grip return tension is adjusted. You’ve got three levels of traction control, too, on the street, or you can shut it off if you hate it. Your ABS brakes are upgraded with a two level cornering-aware mechanism to help keep you upright, and you’ve got three power modes to enjoy.

Cruise control can be set over a large range of speeds starting at 15 MPH all the way up to 100. I don’t think I’ve ever done 100 on a V-Strom, but it’s nice to know it’s there if you want it. A new quickshifter is matched to an updated six-speed transmission, your clutch has assist and slipper functions, plus Suzuki’s proprietary Low RPM Assist System that helps prevent stalling when pulling away from a stop.

There’s so much more, but we wanted to mention the 2-amp USB charging port on the side of the instrument panel, and the 12-volt, 36-watt DC socket under the passenger seat. Finally, gorgeous LED lighting is all over the place —your headlight, turn signals, and tail/brake light.

Retro’s the theme here, coupled with a powerful 270-degree, 899cc parallel-twin engine at 492 beautiful pounds. You’ve got 5 speeds but you might find yourself lingering in 4th gear due to a nice broad powerband. The Scrambler 900 replaces the Street Scrambler, and though nothing’s changed for this year, it’s still a beaut, fit for city riding and being seen and heading out of town on weekends to wherever. One reason it works in urban surroundings is its fat 19-inch front wheel which smooths out decrepit roads. You sit upright and grip wide handlebars. They say it does well in canyons and mountains and such and we’ll take Triumph’s word for it.

The motorcycle comes in classic Triumph Jet Black, a new Carnival Red and Jet Black scheme with boss new graphics plus a new “Matt Khaki scheme” that celebrates the Scrambler’s iconic off-road heritage. Triumph says these colors are in response to customer requests for brighter, more distinctive and more elegant color options. MSRP: $19,230

I’ve only had one Royal Enfield to test, but I liked it enough to become interested in other machines the company makes and I’m liking the scrambly Scram 411 in spite of its little engine. That would be a counterbalanced 411cc single-cylinder, four-stroke, SOHC, two-valve, air-/oil-cooled motor delivering 24.3 bhp at 6500 rpm with 24 pound-feet of torque at 4500 rpm.

It’s a great first bike or one for shorter or petite individuals, or people who want a motorcycle but aren’t especially interested in exceeding 75 MPH. The first 1,000 units sold in the U.S. will come with Royal Enfield’s Tripper turn-by-turn navigation system gratis. Your sticker’s just $5,999 which delivers seven different color options and a three-year unlimited mileage warranty with roadside assistance.
