HONORABLE MENTION:
2024 BETA 125 RR RACE EDITION
You often hear how much fun
people say they have riding
125cc two-stroke motorcycles
on a motocross track, but I think
125s are even more fun on the
trail, especially when you're
aboard what I think is the best
production 125cc two-stroke
off-roader ever made, the $8999
Beta 125 RR Race Edition.
The Beta is fast, flies far off the
jumps, is featherlight and stops—
snap—like that. And it's gorgeous.
It's just a wonderful motorcycle
that does everything well and is
an absolute blast to ride.

HONORABLE MENTION:
2024 TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER
1200 XE
The main reason why I like the
$15,295 Triumph Scrambler
1200 XE is its looks. To me, the
look is a major part of why I, and
I assume many of us, got into
motorcycles in the first place.
I would never tire of seeing the
Triumph 1200 XE in my garage,
and I'd be proud to be seen
on one. Luckily, not only is the
Scrambler handsome, but it
performs well, too, on or off the
road. And if one of the baffles
from its two mufflers just so
happens to fall out—even better.
