The New York stop of the International Motorcycle Show circuit is at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center this weekend, offering another glimpse at what’s new in two-wheelers (and, in some cases, three-wheelers). The show is smaller than last year’s, but of the manufacturers that attended, one thing was constant: retro motorcycles.

Retro has always been fairly normal for Harley-Davidson, and manufacturers like Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki have been building Harley-style cruisers for a while. And now there are others in the old-school genre. Indian adds another marque to the segment; Ducati went retro this year with its Scrambler; and Triumph has its ever-present Bonneville. Even BMW had a low-slung, retro bike with a teardrop tank on display – although it looked completely out of place next to its hard-edge modern touring and sport bikes.

Royal Enfield has a booth, too, but that company has always sold bikes that look like relics from the immediate post-World War II years. The point is that almost all present had on display at least one motorcycle that Marlon Brando’s character from “The Wild One,” Dennis Hopper’s from “Easy Rider” or a stocky man wearing a brain bucket and a soul patch would have looked natural sitting on.

The only manufacturer at the small show that did not have anything new-old was KTM, which stuck strictly to edgy sport bikes.
