Are you considering buying a new motorcycle? With plenty of brands to choose from, experienced riders can have a difficult decision on their hands when it comes to which make to go for - read our guide to learn more about some of the top names. There's plenty of advice out there for novice riders looking for good first motorcycles, but what about riders who have a bit more experience? Now, you may be keen to stick with your current brand - but it's always worth looking at what others have to offer. Of course, many of the top names in the motorcycle industry produce a number of different kinds of bike, but generally have a particular type they are famous for. Suzuki, for example, is best known for its powerful supersports bikes. As an experienced biker, you're bound to know roughly what kind of bike you're after, whether it's a comfortable, controlled tourer for those long-distance rides or a quick and nimble sports bike for amateur racing - but which brands offer seasoned riders the best models? Perhaps the motorcycle industry's most iconic brand, Harley-Davidson can be an excellent choice for experienced bikers looking for the ultimate addition to their collection. While the firm also makes models such as sportsters, it is best known as a manufacturer of heavyweight, low-slung bikes that encapsulate the iconic Harley-Davidson design and image. With sheer power, control and comfort, its tourers have a huge fan base - and if you're after this kind of bike, a Harley-Davidson will certainly not let you down. Another great make for high-performance tourers is Triumph Motorcycles. This UK brand has a history that stretches all the way back to 1902 and produces a wide range of models catering to different kinds of bikers. Its products entered legendary status when movie stars such as Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen rode them in the 50s and 60s and, harking back to this heritage, a new entrant to the Triumph range in 2012 is the Triumph Steve McQueen Edition. This takes its inspiration from the Triumph Trophy that McQueen famously rode in The Great Escape and is broadly based on the Bonneville T100. It is a limited edition model and it is expected that just 1,100 will be manufactured worldwide. Racing enthusiasts, meanwhile, might find themselves particularly drawn to Suzuki. Founded in 1909, this Japanese company started its life making looms for the silk industry, before beginning to manufacture motorcycles that would become some of the most admired in the world. Indeed, Suzuki is a favourite among amateur and professional racers and one of its model, the Supersports Hayabusa, led to the creation of a whole new category - ultimate supersports. Another reputable Japanese brand to consider is Honda. Producing a wide array of series, its collection includes adventure, tourer, supersports and custom ranges, among others. Also popular among professional riders, Honda is a brand known for innovation, combining elements of classic styles to make something new and exciting for enthusiasts - such as its selection of sports tourers. When looking for a new bike, it's also worth checking the rest of your kit to see whether you need any replacements. If you require new protective gear, Dainese leathers can be a good option, mixing performance with style. Dainese helmets and other accessories are also available if your collection needs expanding a little further. For motorcycles, parts, accessories and clothing, come to P&H Motorcycles.
