Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2021
You can't ride a retro bike more convincingly than on the Triumph Bonneville T120. The name conveys so much classic flair that the actual riding almost takes a back seat. That would be a shame, though, because if you don't care about performance on the last jag, the Bonnie with its superior twin offers a successful all-round carefree package that makes big and small happy. For friends of understatement, the Black Edition offers the best option of the T120, where most of the chrome parts are replaced by matt black accents, which perfectly rounds off the discreet appearance.
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.
