Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger Sport 2013
All in all, the new Tiger Sport continues the recipe for success of its predecessor, the Tiger 1050, presenting itself visually modernised but remaining completely true to its line. The character of the engine is also retained, the 10 additional hp blend in noticeably, especially in the beefy middle section, and the engine thus continues to spoil with its typical three-cylinder charm.
Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2013
The new touring enduro from Aprilia rides well, but nowhere better than a competitor. In bends, however, the damping proves to be a little too soft. The nimble appearance is somewhat deceptive - the Aprilia is a very comfortable touring bike.
