Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2011

Even a Super Duke is in a tight spot when the bends are not too sharp and the KTM can make full use of its radical handling and its unrivalled ability to correct the radius on naked bikes. The Speed Triple is more harmonious, patient and predictable. The Duke has to be beaten, the Triple can also be stroked.

Controlled chassis

hard sound

stable.

Rough gearing sometimes disturbs the idyll between man and machine.

Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 2016

The V9 Bobber is an absolutely authentic model - both as a Moto Guzzi and as a bobber. The typical longitudinally mounted V2 engine with its cylinders projecting upwards at an angle is proudly displayed and dominates the minimalist lines that should characterise a bobber. The small and wide front wheel is particularly successful, at least visually. With its 55 hp, the engine does not stand out too much from the V7 series, but thanks to the low weight of only 200 kilos, nothing stands in the way of a brisk ride. The seating position also corresponds to the bobber style - sporty and upright, you can enjoy the ride on the noble and therefore not so expensive machine.
