Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2023
The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally mounted V2 engine with the typical diagonally protruding cylinders. And this model in particular should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated bike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves in a good-natured manner, the suspension is more comfortable than sporty and the riding position also fits the cosy character perfectly. The single disc brake at the front even grips surprisingly well and the overall look is direct to the heart. Only the LCD dashboard looks out of place and modern.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2019
While the Continental GT 650 is not a completely new model visually (there is already the Conti GT 535), an Interceptor 650 with a two-cylinder engine is now coming onto the market for the first time in almost 50 years. The styling therefore skilfully reflects the flair of the 1960s, while the technology is up to date. You won't find any electronic features, but the parallel twin-cylinder engine with 48 hp and 53 Newton metres of torque is surprisingly agile and the handling is very neutral. The Brembo brake is also pleasing with good dosing and the Pirelli tyres do not show any weaknesses. The seating position is very comfortable, so if you don't want to ride your Interceptor 650 so sportily, you can cruise comfortably - it can do that very well too.
