When many young riders first pass the test, they will have longings for sports cars with perverted appearance and full of blood and passion. However, as the days of playing with cars get longer, many riders prefer to ride retro cars that are less burdensome, full of retro looks and very "sight". Especially in recent years, the style of retro and café racer has once again set off an upsurge. Major car manufacturers have launched retro models one after another. Today, Helm King will take you to see what classic retro models/cars are on the market!

HONDA CB car series

When it comes to HONDA, the first impression in everyone's mind may be the bright red and aggressive shape of the flagship sports car Fireblade, but in fact its street car CB series is also a quite classic retro street car series. The most classic flagship of the CB family is the CB1100 EX. The appearance full of Japanese retro style and metallic stacking, the rare and classic large-displacement four-cylinder air-cooled engine are all important elements that allow the CB car series to stand for 60 years. It is a pity that the CB1100 EX has been discontinued in the near future. Fortunately, HONDA’s CB car series still has many different family members, and there will still be many opportunities to see the CB car series on the road in the future.

YAMAHA XSR car series

Compared with HONDA's CB car series, YAMAHA's XSR car series incorporates European and American retro elements, achieving a delicate balance between retro and modern, and is a very popular retro car series in recent years. The XSR adopts the frame of the sports street car MT series to redesign the appearance, so that the XSR looks decent and retro in appearance, but it can still bring a certain amount of sports driving fun to the rider, which can be said to be dynamic and static. The circular LED taillight is an important element of this car series. Another thing that makes the XSR car series popular is that there are corresponding models in the car series from the small displacement of 155c.c. to the large displacement of 900c.c. It is definitely considered to start retro in recent years. A choice that cannot be ignored by the knight of the car model.

KAWASAKI Z-RS car series/W car series

It has a long history. KAWASAKI’s W car series can be traced back to 1966, and it has been around for nearly 60 years. In terms of visual style, the W car series is similar to the HONDA CB car series. It also uses classic elements such as chrome-plated parts and big round lights to create a classic Japanese style. In addition, KAWASAKI has seen that the Café racer style has re-emerged in recent years, and will also launch the W800 CAFE version. It will be another feeling after replacing it with round goggles. In addition to the W car series, KAWASAKI's street car Z car series also launched models such as Z650 RS and Z900 RS, which also have a strong retro atmosphere. Like the W800, there is also a CAFE version, which provides a wide range of choices for riders, so that each rider can choose the retro car that is closest to his ideal age or ideal appearance.

Harley-Davidson (Harley)

After introducing the retro car series of Japanese brands, of course, I will also introduce the retro models of European and American brands. When it comes to retro, how can we not mention Harley-Davidson (Harley). If Harley-Davidson is a representative of American cruisers, no one will object to it. Many car series and models launched by it are quite classic, such as: Road King, Fat boy, CVO, etc., all of which are classic representatives. The low-slung seat, the drop-shaped fuel tank, and the unique and rhythmic engine sound are all important elements that constitute Harley's unique charm. Another great joy for Harley owners is that each Harley owner will transform his car into a unique Harley. No wonder owning a Harley is the yearning and dream of many riders.

Triumph

If Harley is the classic representative of American style, then the best representative of British style is Triumph (Triumph). Similar to Harley, Triumph’s classic car series and models are also numerous: Bonneville, Thruxton, Scrambler, etc. all have their own characteristics. Fantastic masterpiece. Wearing a retro helmet, sitting on a Triumph, and moving forward under the sunset, it really has a taste of 007.
