Yamaha XSR900 2020

Yamaha XSR900 2020

The Yamaha XSR900 is a classic optical illusion - with its round headlight, angular tank and attached tail light, it clearly passes for a retro bike. But it's no coincidence that the performance is reminiscent of the potent mid-range naked bike Yamaha MT-09, which is the extremely sporty basis for the XSR900. So the engine is a blast and the brakes are appropriately venomous. Fortunately, the engineers didn't overdo it with the chassis, the XSR900 offers sufficient comfort and the upright riding position is more comfortable than the powerful engine would lead one to expect. All in all, the XSR900 is one of the sportiest models among the retro bikes.

Extremely sporty and rev-happy engine

excellent brakes

riding at naked bike level

pleasant seating position

high-quality workmanship

price-performance ratio.

almost too direct response

retro style not thought through to the last detail

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2021

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2021

You can't ride a retro bike more convincingly than on the Triumph Bonneville T120. The name conveys so much classic flair that the actual riding almost takes a back seat. That would be a shame, though, because if you don't care about performance on the last jag, the Bonnie with its superior twin offers a successful all-round carefree package that makes big and small happy. For friends of understatement, the Black Edition offers the best option of the T120, where most of the chrome parts are replaced by matt black accents, which perfectly rounds off the discreet appearance.

Classic forms in their purest form

superior engine

ergonomics fit almost everyone

high quality of workmanship and materials

comfortable.

Little lean angle clearance

chassis reaches its limits at a brisk pace
