HONORABLE MENTION:
2024 MOTO GUZZI STELVIO
Everyone loves a comeback
story, and the one of 2024
belongs to Moto Guzzi and the
all-new Stelvio. The $17,490
Stelvio disappeared almost
a decade ago, but now it's
back and better than ever. It's
a thoroughly handsome bike
with plenty of torque from the
1042cc transverse V-twin, has
all the rider aids you need, and
comes with a distinguished
style that others in the cat
-
egory don't have. Moto Guzzi
did very well on this one.

HONORABLE MENTION:
2024 KTM 990 DUKE
KTM's midsize Duke grew to
947cc for 2024, which isn't
that groundbreaking, but KTM
engineers improved almost
everything else around motor
to make what is essentially a
mini-Super Duke for $12,500.
Some might say that's a
bad thing, but the improved
ergos, bigger chassis and new
suspension make for a more
enjoyable street bike than the
old 890. This is only the base
model, and we've yet to try the
990 Duke R that was released
at EICMA a few weeks ago.
If the 890 Duke R is anything
to go by, the 990 R version
should be a real treat.
