A pre-production model was on show at last year’s Motorcycle Live, but now the showroom version of Fantic’s retro-scrambler style Caballero 700 is landing in dealerships across the country. The 689cc parallel-twin powered bike shares similar styling to the 125 and 500cc single-cylinder Caballeros, but Fantic says that no parts, not even a bolt, are shared between the 700 and its siblings. The Yamaha-designed motor produces 74hp and is teamed with a steel frame, aluminium swingarm, and 21in and 19in spoked wheels to provide capable on- and off-road performance. Tech hasn’t been forgotten, with the Caballero benefitting from a circular 3.5in colour TFT screen with integrated Bluetooth up front, and handlebar switching between the three riding modes. LED lights front and rear finish it off. It comes in red or metallic blue with a yellow number roundel on the side for an SRP of €9990.
