Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS 2025

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS 2025

With the new Speed Twin 1200 models, Triumph offers two exceptional machines that combine retro looks and modern technology in an appealing way. The powerful 1200cc parallel twin now meets state-of-the-art electronics and spoils you with a marvellous sound. The elegantly equipped RS feels most at home on winding roads. The sporty ergonomics with an active riding position, the precisely tuned firm suspension, the quickshifter and the marvellous Brembo brakes make it the perfect choice for ambitious riders. Despite the sporty design, the ride comfort remains surprisingly good.

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2025

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2025

With its successful revisions and cheeky look, the new Hornet is very appealing without being too aggressive. Only the display looks a little out of place in the otherwise harmonious design and the rear silencer will be recognised from a distance even by the short-sighted among us, Euro5+ sends its regards. But thanks to the Honda accessories catalogue, these visual conspicuousnesses can also be remedied with an additional windscreen that better integrates the display and a slim SC-Project silencer. And at the fighting price of €11,990 or €13,990 for the SP, the new Hornisse will be a serious contender in the battle for buyers' favour, as it has hardly any rivals in terms of price/performance ratio.

Very favourable price

Good handling

Cultivated engine running

Pleasing appearance

Noticeable load change

TC control

No more single swing arm
