8 Best Retro Style Motorcycles For 2020

[@gibbyh65]

I love the old hondas but the Kawasaki z900 here caught my eye big time, beautiful and simple, would love to own that bike.

[@cfvgd]

Just buy it man.

[@mikefulton306]

I had a Z1B in the early 80's. Unforgettable. It wasn't perfect but had incredible character and presence. A joy and privilege to own

[@Spazik86]

I like it most from these as well.

[@KB-yj5xp]

I bought one this year, absolutely fantastic bike

[@Turco949]

Same here!

[@Turco949]

They were all beautiful but especially z900RS caught my eye. Truly eye-catching lines. I have always loved the vintage bikes so, I totally dig the newer retro style bikes. All the desirable technology of today with yesterday's styling!

[@johnwillard6198]

Turco949 color is nice

[@NortheastFloridaPWC]

Absolutely love the Kawasaki z900rs it was truly a throwback to my youth when I used to ride a KZ650 as my daily ride.

[@AussieKawiman]

Z900RS is by far the best looking Retro bike..And rides so we'll... Good work Kawasaki.

[@RickyJr46]

Got that right, Aussie Kawiman!

[@KB-yj5xp]

Plus when you stick an Akro header on the bike it sounds even better as you’ve shown us a couple times!

[@brianholdridge5243]

Let's see....monoshock rear, not retro. Giant honking radiator with chrome strips on the side to make it stand out, not retro. Giant, bloated, tortoise shell gas tank, ugly. You can have it.

[@KB-yj5xp]

@@brianholdridge5243 It is clearly retro styled, its not a 70's duplicate but a modern retro styled bike, and probably the nicest best one out there. I understand looks can be subjective but from all the reviews I have read, negative comments about the looks and styling are almost non-existent and this is the first time I've ever heard someone call it ugly, but thats why there is more than one style of bike out there.

[@MrBenHaynes]

The dials on the Honda CB1100, so perfect. The RE 650 Interceptor in orange crush, so beautiful.

[@timothyphillips5043]

RE steal the show beautiful bikes.

[@lukeragg1643]

Z900RS looks great in it's original 70's gold fleck/green livery = thanks Motor TV...

[@alessandromoratto4737]

Royal Enfield is Top!!!!

[@cfvgd]

The triumph is insane... How can it look so new and fresh. Sporty and classic at the same time?

[@tomw6271]

well said

[@DavidParker-jr5bd]

I agree 100%. Not because I bought one which I did, but because it damn well is Sporty and Classic.

[@sarthakbarath]

True

[@mskehan19]

That Kawasaki wow!

[@soelenny]

What a beautiful bike is the KAWASAKI Z900RS

[@StreetBob-tn1ed]

in the 70s we used to call them the widow maker with due cause

[@soelenny]

Yes , back then i got one Z900 . A monster to drive

[@DanBlake3rd]

My back says Speed Twin, but my Fast says Thruxton RS for the win. Loved the Honda. It just weighs 100+ lbs more than the Triumphs.

[@nuggethead008]

Guzzi has my vote for sure! Looks fantastic but being an owner of a few, I may be partial.

[@timn4481]

i was fortunate to experience the w800 as my friend had one. if you havent ridden one, do yourself a favour and dont underestimate it. im well over 100kg and it was lowered front and back and accelerates beautifully and at 65mph it feels like its only doing 50. beautifully balanced, sweet sound, and handles just right.

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

@Tim Newman - Yeah, I road a new 2017 W800 and it was indeed a great bike and gorgeous. It was a dazzling dark metallic blue with lots of chrome and really looked like a 1960s British bike... except that it didn't leak oil. Haha! It was smooth, handled well and certainly wasn't an overweight behemoth, like many in this video. It also sounded really nice, although a bit too muffled. Gotta admit I'm shocked to see the new 2020 W800 has horrible graphics and looks freakin' butt ugly. At least under the ugliness it's a great bike.

[@Redspeciality]

I loved the Yamaha RD series 2-strokes. They were little rocketships

[@michaeldavis5775]

They were great bikes, and really nimble, with great handling. I had a Kawasaki S2 350 back in the seventies, and I really liked the RD350 also.

[@pharoah1200]

The Kaw z900 hands down 😎

[@ptsean4609]

Love Triumph

[@thierryberthy1735]

Just shows that back in the 70s and 89s we had and rode the most beautiful bikes.... enough said.

[@helegjulianriveramurillo1307]

the best, Tryumph and Guzzi

[@mskehan19]

Heleg Julián Rivera Murillo sorry that Kawasaki trumps them all pure beauty!

[@sarthakbarath]

Mee too

[@4Kandlez]

Agreed, Triumph and Guzzi.

[@sarthakbarath]

I just love triumph bikes Big enthusiast

[@calcrappie8507]

These classic standards must be selling again. They were a blast the first go-round too!

[@earlw9172]

The Z900 is a good looking bike Kawasaki did a good job on the design .

[@mchristr]

Retro? I thought this is the way motorcycles were supposed to look.

[@splodge57]

Love that Speed Twin and the lime green Z900. Where were the Harleys?

[@hondarider1374]

All the harleys were probably broken down!

[@splodge57]

Proper Retros then.

[@ljr7945]

Love that Z900RS

[@stanleybaker1520]

I like the classic spokes rims😎

[@Mohawk2185-o3q]

I am gonna buy all of these Beauties.

[@gusseisern1151]

Mohawk 21 yesssss

[@luisfelipelagunarivero2699]

Moto Guzzi is the manufacturer that respects the consumer and does not underestimate him: cadan shaft, gentlemen, is the perfect transmission.

[@bewseybill3691]

Great video. What a collection of superb retro bikes. Pity Moto Guzzi didn't do a Le-Mans MKI retro. Thanks for Sharing.

[@elabqary64]

Z900rs 😍😍😍

[@robertpowers1045]

el abqary yep that’s some gorgeous green metallic paint

[@oswaldjh]

Too bad the Honda CB1100 wasn't the CBX in-line 6 cylinder version. That would have been epic.

[@StreetBob-tn1ed]

@Jamie Mills yes that would have been great i always wanted to own one of those

[@1satisfiedmind]

Thst Kawasaki reminds me of the first street bike I rode, a Kawasaki 750, back in 1977. Love it.

[@johnharris7353]

Luv the "standard" motorcycle with room for a passenger! Lotta wind out on the highway though!

[@rohanstephens8559]

loved that speed twin and the z900 is just sexy,

[@brucekent7442]

I love the retro never so much liked the race looks.

[@filipedesousa7948]

BMW nine t ?

Retro have those nice true 2 person seats.

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

Speed Twin is the pick of this bunch

[@thegreatboldini4628]

Z900 beautiful looking but missed the trick , it needed to have 4 big chrome exhausts , looked like ran out of money and stuck a cheap 4 into 1 in side like motad aftermarkets on original z1a and z1b's

[@KB-yj5xp]

Completely disagree, the 4 pipes are ugly and bulky looking in my opinion. I don’t like them on the original z1 and I like them even less on the Zrs

[@tarekahmad8884]

At 8:05 what was the orange one with a woman on it ??

[@VikingCycle]

love the style of the bike

[@afc-td8zo]

A true rider loves all motorcycles

[@aucourant9998]

I love the look of the Honda 1100.

[@giusydellarocca396]

Kawasaki!

[@cfvgd]

Triumph

[@alobosk]

I want them all

[@PelengkapOtomotif]

Honda CB1100 very good

[@RadioReprised]

Orange crush needs to be chrome fenders and grab bar at the least. Drop the fork boots on the other version.

[@joshpecker4352]

Damn that Kawasaki

[@42much1]

Here in my country we do not have Moto Guzzi, which has an incredible design. For all the tradition it brings, and especially with this color, I am going for the Kawasaki z900 in 2020. The Royal Enfield looks awesome, although the Interceptor model is clearly inspired in the Honda CB 400 f of the seventies. I think Honda should do the same as Kawasaki did with the z900 and bring back the CB 400 f retro design ASAP.

[@DregorousTheCrow]

RE Interceptor is inspired in the RE Interceptor of the 1960s. ;)

[@42much1]

@@DregorousTheCrow I guess I picked up the wrong model, it is the Continental GT which looks alike the blue/red/yellow CB400f of 75/76, at least in design. But I have never heard about the RE of the 60s so you may be right, it could have been the other way around.

[@RickyJr46]

The first Z-1 I ever saw in person was a metallic olive green with yellow pinstripes, similar to the 2020 Z900RS. Nicely done, Kawasaki! Now please do away with the fussy three-piece front fender, or at least color match the pieces.

[@valentinorossi2444]

Z900 rs is the best looking bike... But the seat height will be a factor,835mm... I m only 5,7... Would it be fit for me...?

[@bradfigiel2203]

I am 5' 8" and the fit and triangle are perfect. I have the 900 rs cafe. It is a tall bike but light enough that it's not unwieldy for us shorter folks

[@afc-td8zo]

Honda is very cool

[@luisangelvalenti]

02:08 muy parecida a Royal Enfield 650 GT

[@75619630]

Triumph is the bike for me, but choice is difficult..

[@Mohawk2185-o3q]

Triumph is causing all sorts of problems. Maintenance wise very bad.

[@prasanthr817]

Liked Honda

[@scottw550]

Missing 2 cylinders.

[@robertpowers1045]

90 hp out of a 1100cc is lame by 2020 standards my 20year old AirCooled Bandit had 110hp stock

[@genericallyaccepted]

@@robertpowers1045 it's not that that was all they could get, it's just all they wanted.

[@michaelK3148]

Not available in USA, unfortunately.

[@irvan020690]

where is the Triumph Bobber ??

[@josephalnicaragua6050]

Amazing 😍

[@AaaBbb-qo7un]

Like the Triumph very much but dislike the bar end mirror.

[@scottw550]

In the end, Stay away from the bar mirror.

[@midlifebiker7424]

I do like retro styling but I keep seeing budget parts and lardy weight. Triumph Thruxton in a more comfy geo. I like the paint work on the 900RS but didnt like riding it through town, just not nimble..my $$ is safe..for now..

[@Charkunt.d5]

No xsr900?? 🤔

[@AndieBlack13]

Look carefully at the Honda 3:41-3:50 that rear fender is actually only about 250-300mm long...there is no actual "fender" inside the structure...keeping rain & debris in check...it is a "fake", vestigial fender.

[@janscorpio2323]

Kawa🏆👍

[@Друг731]

конфетки слюни бегут ))))))))

[@carlgill5946]

All of you manufacturers need to pump up these rookie numbers !! 90hp with an engine over 1000cc whats up with that??? With an engine over 1,000cc it should be a minimum 120hp and you wont see an incredible sales increase until you do this very thing so shape up guys!! Vroom vroom!!

[@rickhunt3183]

It would be nice to have a liter bike with 6 cylinders that roared and pulled like a beast and could fly like a bat out of hell when you turned the throttle.

[@pylyo]

Honda cb1100rs and Kawasaki z900rs for me.
