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.

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2022

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2022

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
