Been toying with idea of new bike I love retro and classic look hence the z is on list and it’s big bro to the z650 ts I already have but also like the Guzi as looks classic and well a bit different.

Anyone have any real life experience of ether or opinions I’d be most greatful to hear good or bad

Cheers x ride safe and happy fabbing

Two quite different bikes on styling.

The 900rs is the winner for the current range of retro bikes imo. The finish and colour schemes are first class. A bit too big and heavy for me. Wish the 650rs was an inline four like the original.

I like the v9 roamer too, and all the v7 stylish with excellent reviews.

Cheers appreciate your thoughts the 900rs seems to be tipping the balence more and more in my mind now I’m gonna wait till the new 2025 se version is about after Xmas.

The 650 rs is a good bike love it’s looks hence attraction to its bigger sister despite not being completely true to original I’ve loved having it just want to step up a bit as at times seems little small for me great round country lanes very light and easy to ride.

Kwak 900rs all day long compared to the guzzi. I’m obviously biased to retro, hence the xjr 1300 I possess and love.
