Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XJR 1300 2016
In the 2015 model year, the Yamaha XJR 1300 represents the last stage of evolution and possibly also the last chance for a really fat air-cooled four-cylinder. Yamaha has had a tradition in this segment for decades, and in recent years it has become cool to use such motorbikes as the basis for caferacer conversions. The XJR 1300 doesn't look artificial, but honest. If you like four-cylinder engines, you've come to the right place. In addition to its cool looks, rich torque and casual riding feel, the bike also offers a lot of practical benefits. Both in the city and on long tours, you have a lot of fun with the motorbike. Unlike the Racer, a few small additional accessories would do it good so that it can show its full potential in front of the cafe.
Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016
Even though the Thruxton 1200 is supposed to be the sporty model of the retro line, the normal model was designed to be refreshingly suitable for everyday use and thus harmonious - the sportier Thruxton 1200 R serves the true retro racers anyway. This leaves a powerful engine that revs heartily, a good-natured braking system, a somewhat elongated but sufficiently comfortable seating position and inconspicuously packaged electronic features in a motorbike that visually trumps with reminiscences of the good old days without being embarrassing. Triumph has also done an excellent job with the Thruxton 1200!
