Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 N Iron 2015

Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 883 N Iron 2015

Both the new Sportster XL 883 Iron and its larger sister Sportster XL 1200 X Forty-Eight benefit from the revised suspension - the rear shocks dampen more sensitively and are infinitely adjustable in spring preload. The front forks also do a better job thanks to the progressive spring winding, and sagging is efficiently prevented. The fat 49-millimetre fork on the Forty-Eight in particular also makes a good visual impression.

Sensitive and stable chassis

typical Sportster engines with the necessary vibrations

comfortable seating position

acceptable lean angle clearance

brakes with ABS

somewhat sluggish gearbox

Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone 2015

Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone 2015

Far away from the performance and elbow society, a happy person, completely at ease with himself, chugs across the country with his V7 and wonders about the horsepower armament industry and its loyal consumers. For the V7, 48 hp is enough to satisfy its drivers completely. It is about motorised locomotion, not about motorised record chasing. The aim is to broaden the horizon of life, not just by changing location, but by changing perspective and having the courage to live individually. The V7 is like an old friend you know everything about and can tell everything to. A motorbike like from the good old days.
