Kawasaki Z900 RS 2022

The Z900 RS enjoys a large fan base and in 2022 it once again proves why it is so popular. The powerful engine scores with pulling power and a wonderful sound that is not too obtrusive. The handling feels natural and presents no challenges. Only a quickshifter would suit the bike - even if that doesn't quite fit the retro idea.

Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023

Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023

The overhaul of the Street Triple family for 2023 has been more than successful. The R we tested is the entry-level model - but there is little sign of this, because thanks to the extensive standard equipment, the cleanly working chassis and the high-quality workmanship, hardly any wishes remain unfulfilled even here. The 765 cubic capacity three-cylinder is a doozy anyway and not only impresses with its running culture and revving pleasure, but also its responsiveness and dosing is first-class. The new Street Triple 765 R is a really fair offer.

High-end engine

Display unit very minimalist

Fittings on the handlebars look more favourable than the rest of the motorbike
