Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016

Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016

The Thruxton is far behind the Öhlins and Showa-equipped "R" in terms of sporty performance. This becomes particularly clear on the Alpine passes, where a good chassis, strong brakes and light handling are crucial. In return, it rewards the eye of the aesthete with an even more authentic, because more classic, exterior. Laymen can hardly distinguish a new Thruxton from a vintage or youngtimer. Like the Street Twin, it has a sympathetic effect on passers-by and should be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.

Powerful, finely tuned engine

authentic look

genuine classic bike

Chassis clearly below that of the "R"

moderate comfort

good sound

Triumph Speed Twin 900 2025

Triumph Speed Twin 900 2025

All in all, the Speed Twin cylinder update is a real treat for modern classic fans who want to combine two worlds: enjoyable cruising with comfort, but also lively cornering with a powerful sound. You get state of the art technology that makes the riding experience even safer and more comfortable. A modern classic bike as it is written in the book.

Bonneville engine
