Motorcycle - what new brands offer a nice 1960-70's body styling of the Triumph/Norton type?

or more bluntly - what current motorcycle designs aren't either

a. crotch rockets (yamaha, suzukis, kawas, etc)
b. "American Chopper"-oids? (harleys, etc.)

is there a regular old motorcycle, about the 650-750cc range anymore? something that wouldn't be too uncomfy driving about 400-500 miles, but not massive "road-bike"y either with 10 saddle bags - you probably know what I mean

something a little more exciting than a Honda would be nice too - although a Honda would last forever

Triumph makes the Bonneville. Modern bike that looks like the older bikes they used to make.

last time i saw something retro was kawasaki w650. you can find some on ebay

sleepydo hit the nail right on the head- definitely the Kawasaki w650- retro british styling with jap bike dependability & no leaks! a cult classic that was only sold in the states for 2 years

Norton is still producing, http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com as is Triumph http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/motorcycles...

There are many manufactures out there right now that produce mid-size cruiser style bikes that might fit your desire.

Here is the one I think you want,the kawasaki w650

Personally,I would go for an original from that period,perhaps one in need off restoration? Its hard to beat the real thing!

Check out the Royal Enfeilds

Im thinking about one they fit right in

Get a newer Triumph. Great bike that looks just like the old ones. I get asked all the time how long it took me to restore mine.

The new,modern Hinckley Triumph has a nice selection of retro styling of the older Meriden Triumphs of the 60's and 70's. These new,modern Hinckley models are state of the art machines with all the latest updates and some models are in the 650cc and up range that you seek. They seem to hold their value very well and handle very good on the road. Dealership base seems organized and well run. Problem with a restoration is that you still have an older machine when done. Sounds like a Triumph is the way you want to go. Good Luck !!

Not exactly sur whether U want retro or just naked.
All of big 6 make "naked" bikes. Suz- SV and Bandit, Honda 919 and 599, Kawi Z1000, Yami - FZ1 and FZ6, H-D Sportster.
CAUTION: some of these hav 1/2 fairings.
Ducati also makes several retro styled models
I'd also consider the less than total RR but still "sport styled" and offering wind protection. Like Honda VFR, Suz Katana, ... must b mor
