Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB 1000 R 2018

Honda calls the model series "Neo Sports Cafe", and the CB 1000 R lives up to the fresh name. The style is new, different and not only visually but also haptically very successful. The "sport" is not neglected in the new model either. The engine has a wonderful torque curve and accelerates the machine with fine control and vehemence at the same time. All this comes in the "+" version with good equipment and technical precision made in Japan in the form of a great riding machine in the showrooms. A great motorbike!

Fabulous response in every engine situation

Feels very comfortable both slowly but also sportily

Precise and smooth transmission

Precise lines possible due to immaculate drive unit paired with good chassis

High-quality details.

Display not perfectly readable in direct sunlight

tall pilots may have space problems with their knees at the tank => try it out

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.

>100kg people might have space problems.
