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.

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.
