for this would be the Classic model which has a more upright seating position. Front and rear disc brakes are fine for the performance available, and I found the front better than the twin setup on one of the larger Guzzi models. As always, don't buy one without

continuous tinkering to keep it going Full Review: When it comes to classics this is the one. Just the name Bonneville on a bike seems to draw a crowd of admirers from miles around and this one looks the part. Unfortunately modern noise and emissions regs

Ducati Sport 1000S

.The Ducati 1000S is exactly what a modern retro bike should be. It takes the best styling components of a classic and puts them into a modern chassis that works. I'm certain owners of this bike won't care it's uncomfortable, because they will be making short

wants the classic bike look, feel and sound without having to be a life-long member of the RAC.Triumph’s Thruxton is nostalgia in a bottle...Retro is something that, as you would expect, Triumph does extremely well. Its range of Bonneville based bikes

, is how much more useful a Bellagio is for trips further than the pub.The configuration is classic Guzzi, but the motor is new and thoroughly modern with its twin plug heads, fuel injection and short stroke dimensions. It shudders and pulses endearingly
