Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RS 660 2021

In 2021, the Aprilia RS 660 can be seen as the last true 600cc supersport, because with its sporty seating position and high-quality chassis components, it hits the sweet spot between suitability for everyday use and trackday potential. Thanks to the comprehensive electronics package, nothing is left to be desired on the road or on the track - and you can't complain about the powerful two-cylinder anyway. A great package for all those for whom 200+ hp superbikes are too much for everyday use.

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2018

Even though the beach bar handlebars, the seat height of only 705 mm and the torque-heavy engine of the Triumph Speedmaster invite you to relax and glide with the classic cruiser, there is more speed in the latest Bonneville bike than you would expect. A 310 mm double-disc brake, generous suspension travel, adjustable levers as well as two riding modes and a traction control that can be switched off guarantee a rather sporty performance. But you really feel comfortable when you sit back and enjoy the deep roar of the British parallel twin - and maybe even let the cruise control do the work.
