Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017
Keeping a motorbike model technically up to date for over 60 years without visually departing much from its origins is an enormous challenge - which Triumph has mastered brilliantly with the Bonneville T120 Black. The larger 1200cc engine, the electronics and many modern details have been wonderfully embedded in the old school look. The performance is impressive, but the focus is still on cosiness and that certain flair that defines a Bonnie. And here Triumph has once again hit the bull's eye amidst the many retro attempts of the competition.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2019
While the Continental GT 650 is not a completely new model visually (there is already the Conti GT 535), an Interceptor 650 with a two-cylinder engine is now coming onto the market for the first time in almost 50 years. The styling therefore skilfully reflects the flair of the 1960s, while the technology is up to date. You won't find any electronic features, but the parallel twin-cylinder engine with 48 hp and 53 Newton metres of torque is surprisingly agile and the handling is very neutral. The Brembo brake is also pleasing with good dosing and the Pirelli tyres do not show any weaknesses. The seating position is very comfortable, so if you don't want to ride your Interceptor 650 so sportily, you can cruise comfortably - it can do that very well too.
