Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2005

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

Kawasaki Z900 RS Cafe 2018

With the Z900RS Cafe, Kawasaki has launched a very successful and high-quality homage to the café racer machines from the 1970s. It combines the classic, sporty design with the ultra-modern technology of the modern era. Surprisingly, it presents itself as a pleasant-to-ride sports tourer with high utility value. This means that it will be used more often in practice than a Z900RS or similar motorbike. A big hit.

Beautiful, classic and high-quality look

balanced handling. Not nervous and not ponderous

sporty riding feel thanks to high-torque engine and sporty seating position

practical wind protection

great sport tourer feeling paired with great looks.

No shift assistant

heavier than other retro bikes in this class

seat a little too soft on long tours.
