Carmudi is passionate about all types of vehicles, especially motorcycles. They are cool, quick and make awesome noises when pacing down the road. Having vast popularity across Southern Asia, it is only appropriate that we fill you in on the latest and greatest. Here we take a look at some of the best motorcycle rides to grace the roads in 2014.

1. Harley-Davidson Sportster Superlow

  Harley Davidson is a well known name in the automotive world. It is a distinguished brand that demands respect. The Superlow is an entry level bike manufactured by the brand and costs a reasonable 8,249 USD. As the name suggests, it has a low seat resting at 27.4 inches, making it a great ride for shorter people. The 2014 model benefits from a more powerful braking system with optional ABS. Furthermore, in true Harley Davidson style, it is highly customizable and can be altered to suit the owner perfectly.  

2. Ducati 899 Panigale

The Ducati 899 brings a taste of Ducati’s racing Superbikes but at a lower price that more people can afford. Costing 14,995 USD, it has a 148 hp engine and an incredible lightness which contributes to its fantastic agility. The bike comes with the customary Ducati Quick Shift and ABS. The bike is quick off the mark, going from 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 161 mph.  

3. Victory Cross Roads 8-Ball

Touring riders are racking up the miles on the Cross Roads 8-Ball from Victory Motorcycles. It has convenient storage space, comfortable seating for one or two riders, blacked-out style and it delivers great value. At 15,999 USD, it has a 5.8 gallon fuel tank that keeps you on the road and 21.3 gallons of lockable hard saddlebag space that protects your cargo from all elements. Whether you’re in a party of one or two, the ride will be comfortable as the 8 ball's seating is roomy and you can add the lock-and-ride accessory for added support.  

4. Indian Chief Classic

Indian is the USA’s first motorcycle brand. Polaris made a risky decision when they decided to relaunch the brand as it may not have lived up to past expectations. However, the new Chief Classic has been done properly. When re-launching the brand, high on the agenda was to include a massive 111-cubic-inch V-twin engine vehicle. The bike has a wonderfully unique sound, a splendid finish and a classic-looking mill that is placed in a great-handling aluminium chassis that delivers a stable, relaxing ride.
