Triumph Speed Triple RS 2018

Triumph Speed Triple RS 2018

The new Speed Triple has a few things over its predecessor. It is stronger and smarter than the old model, revs higher and is lighter.

In return, you get a versatile motorbike that combines riding comfort for longer country road rides with the riding fun you want for the racetrack. Agile, handy, smart and powerful. This is the best way to describe the Speedy and it will definitely find at least as much favour among its fans as its predecessor.

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

A fascinatingly perfect motorbike. It rides easily, stably, precisely and quickly. You could almost say it's too perfect to pass for an emotional Italian. But the awesome V4 sound pulls it out again in 2017. For some, the Tuono as a naked bike is too close to a super sports bike. If that doesn't bother you, you'll love it as the best bike in its class.

Best electronics package in the nakedbike league

Super-sport level cornering speed and precision

Stable chassis

Excellent brakes

Spookily easy to ride

200hp served up with unbelievably perfect control

Sporty original equipment tyres

Very cool bike, but for some riders not brutal enough

no configuration options ex works

suspension is great, but not semi-active - for mixed road/track use you have to screw it on.
