Retro bike group test: Yamaha XSR700 vs Ducati Scrambler vs Bonneville Street Twin vs Guzzi V7 II
  • 5 years ago
Which is the best retro motorcycle on the market? What do you think of the Yamaha ZSR700, the Ducati Scrambler, the Triumph Bonneville Street Twin and the Guzzi V7 and do you agree with our verdict? Tell us in the comments below.

We're looking for the most stylish, powerful, and most affordable retro bike there is, so we've compared all the top models on price, engine, power, torque, weight, frame, suspension, brakes, tyres, fuel capacity, fuel economy, and colours!

We’ve got a Yamaha XSR700, which is really the two-year-old MT-07, known for its low weight and easy wheelies. There’s a Ducati Scrambler, a modern interpretation of a much smaller single-cylinder range from the ‘60s and ‘70s. We’ve gone for the Full Throttle variant, with black paint and Termignoni silencers.

We’ve got the newly launched Triumph Street Twin, the entry-level member of a new Bonneville family, which also includes the T120 and Thruxton R. No one’s going to mistake it for a 1959 Bonnie but it’s certainly close enough to recognise as a new one.

And we have a Moto Guzzi V7 II Special, which actually does look a lot like the 1971 V7 Sport from which it derives.
