Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2021

The cruiser among the touring enduros radiates cosiness and sovereignty. Its thundering V2 engine moves well and forgivingly. The chassis and brakes also work well. It is just as ill-suited to extreme off-road situations as it is in the hands of notorious knee-grinders. The Moto Guzzi V 85 TT likes to do its rounds in a refined and comfortable manner, and even for longer tours it offers enough practical comfort with its cardan drive and ergonomics. On top of that, it looks sensational and conveys emotion. The only thing some of our testers would like is a few more horses than its 80 hp.

Cosy, forgiving V2 engine

great sound

good decelerating brakes

very iconic, beautiful exterior

suitable for light off-road terrain

easy-care cardan drive

some of our editors would like to see more sportiness and performance

unsuitable for harder off-road tracks

driving in a standing position difficult for taller pilots

Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro 2016

The Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro carries the adventure image most strongly among retro bikes. If Indiana Jones ever appears on our cinema screens again, I can see him saving the world on an Urban Enduro. The characteristic V2 engine and the compact appearance bring a lot of emotion, nothing stands in the way of a trip to the next dirt road. The high enduro handlebars also promise a lot of safety, but are just narrow enough to still fit between lines of cars. Nevertheless, the little Italian is not perfect. The chassis is too soft when riding fast, the engine's load-change response is too rough and the gearbox tends to twitch at high revs. However, if you don't mind this, the Scrambler Urban Enduro is a retro bike that also cuts a good figure off the road.
