Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016

Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016

The Thruxton is far behind the Öhlins and Showa-equipped "R" in terms of sporty performance. This becomes particularly clear on the Alpine passes, where a good chassis, strong brakes and light handling are crucial. In return, it rewards the eye of the aesthete with an even more authentic, because more classic, exterior. Laymen can hardly distinguish a new Thruxton from a vintage or youngtimer. Like the Street Twin, it has a sympathetic effect on passers-by and should be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.

Powerful, finely tuned engine

authentic look

genuine classic bike

Chassis clearly below that of the "R"

moderate comfort

good sound

Triumph Bonneville 2015

Triumph Bonneville 2015

Compared to the other classic Triumph models, the Bonneville is the fastest bike. The Scrambler, for example, offers less reserves because of the tyres alone, and the Speedmaster has even less lean angle clearance due to its design. However, the Bonnie is a fully-fledged and versatile motorbike with which you can experience many great tours.

clean throttle response
