Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2016

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2016

With the latest generation of the Bonneville, Triumph has managed to combine the past and history with the future and modernity. The look is pure and beautiful, the current technology masterfully integrated. The thick pressure from the rev cellar will be exactly what many classic fans have been looking for, to be virtually nowhere to be found in traffic. The Bonneville is still and more than ever a pleasure motorbike par excellence.

high-torque engine

hardly any vibrations

strong brakes

original look

many original accessories

Poor lean angle clearance

chassis mediocre

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2018

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2018

As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.

terrific, authentic G/S look

powerful brakes, powerful engine

Enduro-typical reduced to the bare essentials

custom bike ex works

Wire-spoke rims not standard

ASC not standard

dirt and trouser paint visible on seat bench
