BMW R nineT 2016

With the RnineT, BMW has created a monument to itself and the boxer that has made it into many garages around the world. The R nineT is a best-seller thanks to its successful overall concept and has served numerous customisers as the basis for a wide range of conversions. Compared to a Thruxton, however, the BMW does not appear authentic in all details, and on the poor road surfaces in the Alps, the suspension may be tuned too hard or the exhaust may be too loud in the long run.
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.
