10. Triumph Thunderbird Commander
The interesting-looking and big Thunderbird Commander is one of a few cruiser-style bikes from Triumph. This one is a serious machine with a lot of weight, but also a lot of firepower to move it around quickly. The 1.7-liter parallel-twin engine is an interesting concept in a class dominated by V Twin engines.
It delivers a smooth performance with less vibration than the V Twin configuration. With 93 HP and a healthy dose of torque, the Thunderbird Commander can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.18 seconds. It has a top speed of 105 mph, but the top speed is electronically limited. Obviously, the mighty Triumph is capable of far more.
11. Yamaha Roadliner S
The Roadliner and Stratoliner featured earlier are closely related bikes, but the Roadliner has more power and less weight; thus, it brings better performance. The acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is much better at 4.12 seconds, and its top speed is 126 mph. Recently, Yamaha introduced an upgraded version, so you can expect these numbers to be slightly better.
12. Victory Judge
The Judge is a cool name because it’s a cool-looking bike, but unfortunately, it’s also a discontinued model. However, you can still find them on the used bike market with a few miles on the clock and a decent price. The Judge features much less weight than the rest of the Victory model lineup, but it has the same engine. This means it is faster and can go from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.09 seconds. So, the next time you see an orange bike next to you at the stop light, it could beat you in a drag race.
