Kawasaki Z900 RS 2022

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.

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

The more comfortable version of the two new Rocket 3 models convinces with more comfort features such as heated grips, windshield and a more comfortable seating position - and therefore with a more universal design than the Rocket 3 R. However, the GT also has the charismatic "ship's diesel" on board, which behaves very sociably despite the incredible torque of 221 Newton metres. The neutral handling even makes the bike, which weighs over 300 kilos, a motorbike for winding country roads - but it should not be too tight. If you want to go on tour with the largest standard engine, you certainly can't go wrong with the Rocket 3 GT.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

high-quality workmanship.

Sissybar not to everyone's taste
