Triumph Bonneville 2015

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.
