Suzuki TU250X: $3999
It seems that a common theme among our picks is that most of them reside in the 250cc displacement category. But of those, the TU250X is really the only bike that can be categorized as what was once called a “standard.” Its very fuel-efficient single-cylinder engine not only looks just right, stuffed in a traditional steel-tube frame, but it cranks out decent torque, making it a great choice for getting around any city. The comfortable upright seating position helps make it a capable all-arounder.
