Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2021

The Triumph Speed Twin could be the height of emotion for fans of classic Triumph motorbikes. The engine pushes like a tractor in every situation and spoils you with a wonderful sound. Chassis and brake components are of high quality and the looks are inspiring. Unfortunately, tall riders cannot enjoy the small 1200 quite as easily as riders under 1.85 metres.

powerful punch from the rev range

high-quality workmanship

sporty chassis

great looks

compact dimensions could become a problem for tall pilots

heat development of the engine

Triumph Thruxton RS 2023

The Thruxton RS is authentically modelled on the café racers of the sixties - dreamy looks from nostalgics are guaranteed. In the saddle, however, it feels anything but retro. High-quality chassis, high-performance brakes, noble looks and a high level of agility make a sporty after-work ride a pleasure, both aesthetically and in terms of riding dynamics.
