Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR900 2019

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 Street Scrambler 2020

Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.
