Yamaha XSR900 2021

Yamaha XSR900 2021

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.

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2025

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2025

With the new Speed Twin 1200 models, Triumph offers two exceptional machines that combine retro looks and modern technology in an appealing way. The powerful 1200cc parallel twin now meets state-of-the-art electronics and spoils you with a marvellous sound. The standard speed twin cylinder impresses with its relaxed ergonomics. The wider, higher handlebars and lower footrests ensure an upright riding position. The standard version is equipped with suspension and brake components suitable for everyday use, which are perfectly adequate in most situations.
