Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2018
Even though the beach bar handlebars, the seat height of only 705 mm and the torque-heavy engine of the Triumph Speedmaster invite you to relax and glide with the classic cruiser, there is more speed in the latest Bonneville bike than you would expect. A 310 mm double-disc brake, generous suspension travel, adjustable levers as well as two riding modes and a traction control that can be switched off guarantee a rather sporty performance. But you really feel comfortable when you sit back and enjoy the deep roar of the British parallel twin - and maybe even let the cruise control do the work.
Yamaha XSR900 2020
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.
