Retro Motorcycle Or Classic? Can You Tell The Difference? 

Very tricky, such small pictures I scraped through 9 out of 10,but the R18 was tricky, and the Quadrant also

Motorcycle capacities have always been like fisherman's tales, stretched somewhat. But the Kwak z900RS must be first bike in history to round down the 948cc engine to 900 for the side panel....

Got them all right, but did have to think about the guzzi and BMW. Great stuff, thanks .

So very clever how you avoided showing the puddles of oil beneath the actual classics, otherwise the quiz would've been so much easier.

10 outta 10, was too easy… Owning a Norton Commando 850, a BSA B44, a Triumph mongrel (1971 650 engine in a ridgid 1951 frame as a bobber) & a lifelong interest in motorcycles since I was about 10 (in 1973) helps as well.

Got the lot right - slightly wobbled on the Guzzi but came down on the right side . I have seen the Triumph Quadrant in the flesh so no catch out for you !

9 out of 10

Full marks ,I even new which classic it was ,including the quadrant .Oh dear showing my age a bit . Guess my age !

9/10

Got all including trick question

One dead give away is usually the carbie. 10 out of 10. Being an old fart helped.

I am, apparently, also The Pope. Too easy, I'd say, or maybe, as the X says, I am teched by gawd....

What a clever video Phil. Scored 10/10 thanks to your generous each way option on number ten, was feeling the pressure and guessed classic then quickly changed to retro. I love my R18 its definitely an adults only bike, violent (vibrant) acceleration and sexy good looks

Piss easy, 10/10🇦🇺

Is the Moto Guzzi a protoype? If available I'd have one. It's definitely a modern classic, not a retro.

I got Q4 rong all i could see was one twin shock an exhaust and a disc brake. Thought is was a new bsa or RE

Please press on, I like it! "... if enough of your friends are still alive." Who are we, the geriatric penelists? lol! Sir, I'll have you know that I still start my Velos and the Bonneville when they are NOT on the stand.😎

Yes, The classics are far better! and can be built to be far better. still, modern Bikes struggle to stay with my 750s and 850s, also a fried still insists on the same as my ex-Race bike a wide line short stroke 500cc Norton SS. I sold my triples, and all my Triumphs years ago and I don't really miss them, although I do have a soft spot for my old Triple, and two or three of my favourite Bonnies, 1965 T120, 1969 T120R with UK Bodywork and full race engine in it with a reworked frame, it was an ex-Racer when I purchased it in 1979, and I finished rebuilding and Balancing the whole motor to a much higher degree, it was a lovely little Bike when finished, sadly I never got to race it again, an injury sidelined me to the backroads only, and finally the best handling of the Bonnies my 1978, T140V. I never found the Triumphs as appealing as the Norton I still have my Favourites, all but one, of them that was a rough looking but highly tuned Black 750 rubber-mount in a Wideline frame, it was my go-to Bike for years sorry I ever let that one go. All these years later, I still Have my 850 Interstate in Red, my first fantasy Bike when young until I discovered the Black and Gold and Blue and Silver 900ss's, in a Local Ducati dealer in Chadwell Heath, way beyond my merger 15 pounds a week Engineer apprentices wage. I also own my 1968 Atlas with a reworked engine a loverly Bike, and Finally a 1969 Blue Norton S -Type, I have another *50 in Bits, Trying to Copy Peter Williams's Blue and white Bike, but with an 850 Engine the same frame Changed a little, 38mm forks with Race Tech cartridges and modern flat slide downdraft Carbs, Still a work in progress, and looking like the white 73 Bike, luckily for me I meet Peter at a show and got to discuss it at length, a marvellous Man. No, the retro's don't and won't give the lifetime of pleasure the originals gave.

It's easy, get on it and if it won't go around corners without you filling your pants, it's a classic....

Q7. Answer is both, surely.

I can spot the real thing from the garbage fakes from a mile away.

My IQ is 10!
