- Upgrading from a 250cc bike? Here are five motorcycles worth considering: KTM 390 Duke R for performance, Aprilia Tuono 457 for sportiness, BMW F 450 GS for adventure, Interceptor 650 for relaxed riding, and Guerrilla 450 for an easy step up.
A 250 cc motorcycle is often enough to get riders comfortable with commuting, weekend rides and even touring. However, when it is time to upgrade, moving to a larger motorcycle can bring significantly more performance, better highway ability and a more premium riding experience.
Rather than simply choosing the motorcycle with the biggest engine, I would look at bikes that offer a meaningful step up while still being practical enough to enjoy regularly. These are the five motorcycles I would consider.
