Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR 2016

Those who have to watch their money even in higher price ranges are better off with the Tuono V4 1100 RR than with the Factory version - because it offers less: The chassis is only slightly less sensitive than the more expensive Öhlins components of the Factory, but offers a little more comfort on bumpy roads and the narrower tyres (190/55-17 on the RR instead of 200/55-17 on the Factory!) can tip the scales in hairpin bends. The RR version also has the harmonious V4 power plant that gives so much pleasure. All in all, the "cheaper" Tuono can still do more than many of its direct competitors.
Yamaha XSR900 2021

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.
