Retro reviews
#7
The '80s was the power-ranger-look stage. It just doesn't have any appeal to me. I do find the BMW appealing in appearance but there's not much retro there. The W800 may be the most retro looking of the lot.

Kawasaki RS900
This one goes off the rails I think with, single shock, slightly raised tail (blowing the flat seat which is useful for sliding back or forth on to fit your size and build), too-fat rear tire, extremely large and obvious radiator, and "too much" engine. This is going to be a problem on a lot of them. It's not as much fun to ride these over-powerful bikes.

Moto Guzzi V7 III

Shaft drive, dry clutch, no tach (which seems like a big deal), and surprisingly jerky.
