Anything with the word "Scrambler" in the name also wouldn't qualify for my list.

Anything with a motocross rear end with no fender does not qualify. Dual shocks and chrome mufflers are a must, unless it is a single cylinder motor.

Carburetors required, or no?
RE: Complete list of retro bikes - postoak_imp - 10-24-2019
Carburetors not required. Electronic ignition is also fine.

I reckon "retro" would accommodate injection, but yes, I understand your reason for asking.
It appears many use faux carbs in there injection integration solution.

Interesting thread. If you keep adding specific disqualifiers, you’ll narrow the list to zero. Lol.
RE: Complete list of retro bikes - postoak_imp - 10-25-2019
I would also eliminate mini-bikes, boutique bikes, 2 cycle engine bikes, plus bikes that won't cruise at 70 mph.
I haven't applied all of the disqualifiers mentioned but here is the list I have:
BMW R nineT Pure
Honda CB1100
Kawasaki W800
Kawasaki Z900RS
Moto Guzzi V7
Moto Guzzi V9
Royal Enfield Inteceptor 650
Suzuki TU250x
Triumph Bonneville 100
Triumph Bonneville 120
Triumph Street Twin
Triumph Speed Twin
Yamaha SR400
Yamaha XSR 700
Yamaha XSR 900

You are right Sea. The only thing that has not been totally disqualified yet is a Retro of the Honda Kick N Go:

It is not water-cooled, a scrambler, EFI, 2-cycle, nor have electronic ignition, etc.
It will maintain 70 mph plus after riding off a cliff.
