Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB 1000 R 2012

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2013

More power, more kilos, more rubber . It is certainly not the most manageable, which makes climbing the Tyrolean mountains over hundreds of hairpin bends exhausting at times. But it is more mature than the Street Triple, knows how to glide along the valley smoothly and without getting on your nerves, and for some reason feels more trustworthy and secure.

Powerful three-cylinder engine

sporty driving feel

upright seating

stable frame.

Showa suspension elements slightly uncomfortable

stubborn handling.
