The 6 Best New Scooters and Motorcycles Under $3,000

Riding a quality bike doesn’t have to cost you a ton of money. There are plenty of scooters and motorcycles under $3,000 that you can buy brand new.

That said, your options are somewhat limited. If you shop on the used market, you can usually find a serviceable motorcycle for even less, but I’ll say that you can still buy some excellent new bikes for under $3,000.

I’ve pulled together a list of bikes that are the highest quality and best performing for this tight budget. Let’s dive into the list.

Feast Your Eyes on the Damon HyperFighter Electric Motorcycle

Damon Motorcycles has a new model. Well, a couple of models. The Damon HyperFighter Colossus and the HyperFighter Unlimited were revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Based on the HyperSport motorcycle that I’ve written about multiple times both here on Wind Burned Eyes and over at Web Bike World, this new HyperFighter brings Damon’s innovative technology to a new segment in the industry.

As you might expect from the name, this bike is a streetfighter. It’s a muscular, badass version of Damon’s technology packaged to be for those ready for a stripped-down experience.

Provisional Supersport Next-Generation Bikes and Regulations from FIM

The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) recently released new regulations for the World Supersport championship.

The regulations include new bikes. Some of the bikes added include “Supersport Next Generation” models.

Here’s a closer look at the regulations and what you can expect.

The Best Motorcycle Jackets Under $100

You don’t have to buy used to get budget motorcycle jackets. If you’re looking for motorcycle jackets under $100, you’re in luck.

There are actually several options out there. While you might not be able to buy some of the biggest and best brand names, you will certainly be able to find a jacket that looks good and provides you with some quality protection.

With all that said, let’s take a closer look at what kind of motorcycle jackets under $100 you can find.

How Long Do Motorcycle Helmets Last?

The industry standard for the life of a motorcycle helmet is five years. After that, manufacturers, industry experts, and safety advocates say you should replace your helmet.

While I’m all for people buying themselves a new motorcycle helmet, I don’t think you should buy one if you don’t want to or have to.

For that reason, I thought it best to take a closer look at the question of how long do motorcycle helmets last.

Motorcycle Helmets for Riders With Glasses

Do you need to wear glasses when you ride your motorcycle? If so you’ll have to find motorcycle helmets that are designed specifically for it.

Sure you could potentially cram your glasses in with any old helmet, but the simple fact of the matter is that it won’t be comfortable.

For this reason, I decided to pull together a list of motorcycle helmets designed specifically for riders with glasses.

Yamaha of Thailand and custom bike builder Zeus Customs have crafted a limited-edition XSR155 that’s absolutely beautiful.

With a worldwide footprint and over 2,100 employees, Red Wing makes some of the best boots in the world. It’s an iconic brand worn by many motorcycle riders around the world.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the latest boots from the company that are suitable for motorcycle riders.

Roland Sands is known for making fantastic jackets, and the Hemlock CE Leather Jacket is no exception.

This jacket is designed to keep you comfortable, dry, protected, and looking good no matter where you ride. Made of water-resistant treated leather that’s buttery smooth but tough, you might never look at another jacket again.

Let’s take a closer look at this new leather jacket from Roland Sands.

Named after the Nefud desert in Saudia Arabia, the Nefud Scrambler from Brough Superior is a killer motorcycle.
