Yamaha XV 950 R 2014

Yamaha XV 950 R 2014

Visually, the Yamaha XV950R does everything right - it stands out from the wide variety of cruisers with its sporty touch. In riding, however, it does not stand out significantly from the competition. The XV950R also has the usual problem with low lean angle clearance, which is not helped by the firmer tuning of the chassis.

Minimalist look with sporty accents

cultivated engine

taut and stable chassis

stable brakes

good workmanship

low centre of gravity and low seat height advantageous for smaller riders.

Engine has too little "momentum"

low lean angle clearance

restrained sound.

Indian Sport Chief 2023

Indian Sport Chief 2023

A bike that combines sport and cruising - that is the goal of Indian Motorcycles. The test shows that the new Sport Chief is surprisingly sporty to ride, because the suspension and brake components can score points on the country road. The engine with its three riding modes is also convincing and inspires with great responsiveness and a powerful torque wave. This makes the new Sport Chief a cool all-rounder for all cruiser fans with sporty ambitions.
