Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2016

With the latest generation of the Bonneville, Triumph has managed to combine the past and history with the future and modernity. The look is pure and beautiful, the current technology masterfully integrated. The thick pressure from the rev cellar will be exactly what many classic fans have been looking for, to be virtually nowhere to be found in traffic. The Bonneville is still and more than ever a pleasure motorbike par excellence.

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton aims high with the Cromwell 1200! Exactly 1222 cubic metres of displacement are available in an in-line two-cylinder engine that delivers 82 hp and a tidy 108 Newton metres of torque at just 3100 revs - and behave really well in ECO mode. The components all come from renowned manufacturers, but are of varying quality. The KYB suspension is typically lax, while the Nissin brakes and Bosch electronics are convincing. Visually, the Brixton is only basically oriented towards the class of the big retro bikes, but it takes a refreshingly independent approach to design. The equipment does not need to hide from the competition, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to operation (change of riding mode, cruise control). The seating position again corresponds to the basic idea in this category - comfort counts more than sport. The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is an inexpensive addition to the class!
