Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Twin 2016

The Triumph Street Twin is a pleasure bike par excellence, whose 55 hp engine impressively proves what really matters, namely torque. And exactly where you need it, in the middle of the rev range. 80 Nm push the 217 kg motorbike forward with pleasant pressure and never tempt the rider to overtax the engine, i.e. to rev it. In terms of design, Triumph remained authentic as usual and offers countless possibilities for customisation with over 450 accessories and the three "Inspiration Packs". A lesson in modern classics.

excellently tuned engine

high torque

low consumption

authentic design

good quality and clean workmanship

Basic shape (without accessories) somewhat sober

chassis and brakes reach their limits in sporty use

Triumph Bonneville 2012

Compared to the other classic Triumph models, the Bonneville is the fastest bike. The Scrambler, for example, offers less reserves because of the tyres alone, and the Speedmaster has even less lean angle clearance due to its design. However, the Bonnie is a fully-fledged and versatile motorbike with which you can experience many great tours.

Comfort offered

flawless engine tuning

clean throttle response

Restricted lean angle clearance
