Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2016

With the latest generation of the Bonneville, Triumph has managed to combine the past and history with the future and modernity. The look is pure and beautiful, the current technology masterfully integrated. The thick pressure from the rev cellar will be exactly what many classic fans have been looking for, to be virtually nowhere to be found in traffic. The Bonneville is still and more than ever a pleasure motorbike par excellence.

high-torque engine

hardly any vibrations

strong brakes

original look

many original accessories

Poor lean angle clearance

chassis mediocre

Triumph Street Scrambler 2020

Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.
