BMW R nineT Scrambler 2019

There's really no point in trying to figure out why the R nineT is so popular, the concept is obviously an excellent fit for today. The BMW R nineT Scrambler also works excellently, relying on the same "old" boxer engine with air cooling, which BMW has miraculously made Euro4-compatible without sacrificing performance or character. The chassis is softer, the wheelbase longer and the equipment more spartan - but under the alias Scrambler this is perfectly acceptable, after all the focus is on comfortable riding. The optional one-man saddle is a bit hard, but the R nineT Scrambler is by no means uncomfortable, and the riding position is particularly convincing. So if you can live with less equipment, steel instead of aluminium and simpler suspension elements, you can save a lot of money with the Scrambler - which you can then best invest in customising!
Yamaha XSR900 2020

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.
