Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Bonneville 2009

The new Triumph Bonneville will please a lot of people, the potential customer base has definitely been expanded in all directions. Because it's not just the sportiness that has seen a significant increase.

Stress-free handling

fine workmanship

comfortable, full-length seat

sophisticated look

7-spoke design.

Not built for acceleration duels

Harley-Davidson Nightster 2022

Comfort on long rides, a lot of fun on winding roads and easy handling: I felt at home on the new Harley-Davidson Nightster right from the start. It's a bike that can be ridden fast around the bends or cruised in a relaxed way - with an engine that is powerful but not intimidating. On the modern Sportster version, I appreciate the presence of traction control, anti-hopping clutch and different riding modes. The Nightster gives me a real Harley feeling, just a little more unexcited compared to its predecessors. For my California trip, it was exactly the right choice.

easy handling

comfort on long distances

extensive equipment with riding modes, traction control, anti-hopping clutch and more

chic & modern Sportster look.

Relatively small fuel tank

Keyless system only for ignition, not for handlebar lock and fuel tank

Rear suspension not very comfortable on rough road surfaces
