Fantic Caballero 700 review - on and off-road on the MT-07 powered retro!

Officially announced earlier this year, the new #Fantic #Caballero 700 cements itself as the flagship bike in Fantic’s retro scrambler range.
The new Fantic Caballero#700 is still a funky-looking street #scrambler, as is the case with the Caballero 500, although beneath the bodywork there are a host of big differences between the two models. To get under the skin of the new bike, Visordown sent Toad to the pretty county of Kent, for an on-road and light off-road test of the new retro machine.

The Caballero 700 is such a beautiful package, why would you need more in a world where all ADV bikes are becoming increasingly heavy?

@visordown Жыл бұрын

there is an argument for that, as I said, it was nice to get on a bike without too much tech and just ride!

I had the 500 Scrambler in Paris for a while and it's a hoot to ride, easy to weave through traffic, great when you thrash it, light as a feather and the seat isn't quite as bad as it looks. I like what they"ve done to the 700, nice review!

As an allrounder bike it's among the best options on the market in my view.

I want one. But there are no dealers in my area. I wish Honda would make a light scrambler like this with their new 750 parrallel twin.

I really like that bike a lot. That great engine but with the nicer looking tank and cool high exhaust. I would seriously consider one of those for the fun paved mountain roads and gravel road I live on.

I'd rather have an XSR700. I like the Fantic, though. I'd rather like one of the 450cc ones. I'm sure the Fantic 700 gets its increased low-end grunt mainly from the lower gearing. And I don't like buzzy bikes. Are the tyres tubeless? They don't look like it. Good review, although I wish you'd drop the background music. Nick J

Well as mentioned before no Marzocchi and it looks way worse. This here has Italian design and it has a head turning design.

@richardsimpson3792 4 ай бұрын

but you wouldn't go out the garage and find yourself just looking at the Yamaha The Dark Side of Japan...because they signed the design off at night when no one could see it.

@Corné-o6h 8 ай бұрын

One of the first things I would change is rip off the name caballero from the tank and put Yamaha on it. It looks good, but why should I not get the Tenere instead, which also looks good and performs a lot better then this toy.

@thejamms1694 5 күн бұрын

I've got a Tenere. It's about 7cm taller seat and the centre of gravity higher because of the ground clearance, engine position and fuel tank. At 171cm height, it is a challenge for me when moving slowly - out on the road, no problem, but in tighter slower situations (incl. off road) quite difficult. This Caballero is a better prospect, although it will never go the off-road places the Tenere can. Would I get one? Yes, because it would manage tours and very unchallenging off-road and still have the bulletproof CP2 motor. The 2 bikes are different and only share an engine as a comparison point.

@amirnaim3675 Жыл бұрын

Mt 07 powered retro? So it's basically a different xsr 700

@visordown Жыл бұрын

No, it's a bit better specced then the XSR and the Tribute, USD (that have decent rebound damping!) and Brembo stoppers - plus you get some electronics to play with.

Definitely, but it’s worth trying a test ride on one. You might be surprised. Fantic are producing bikes that have a special character which isn’t immediately apparent from the technical description.

@yahoodlums 11 ай бұрын

You could get an XSR900 for the same money with Yamaha build quality. Way overpriced!!
