Harley-Davidson Nightster 2022

Harley-Davidson Nightster 2022

Comfort on long rides, a lot of fun on winding roads and easy handling: I felt at home on the new Harley-Davidson Nightster right from the start. It's a bike that can be ridden fast around the bends or cruised in a relaxed way - with an engine that is powerful but not intimidating. On the modern Sportster version, I appreciate the presence of traction control, anti-hopping clutch and different riding modes. The Nightster gives me a real Harley feeling, just a little more unexcited compared to its predecessors. For my California trip, it was exactly the right choice.

easy handling

comfort on long distances

extensive equipment with riding modes, traction control, anti-hopping clutch and more

chic & modern Sportster look.

Relatively small fuel tank

Keyless system only for ignition, not for handlebar lock and fuel tank

Rear suspension not very comfortable on rough road surfaces

Triumph Street Twin 2018

Triumph Street Twin 2018

The new Triumph Street Twin cleverly continues the success story of the predecessor model; instead of radical changes, there are targeted improvements to the engine, brakes, chassis and ergonomics. The enormous 10 hp increase in power is nice, but the special character of the powerful in-line two-wheeler is still experienced more in the mid-range. Added to this is an improved look and feel at a price that is hardly higher. If you have too much money in your wallet, you can pimp and customise your Street Twin with almost 140 original accessories.

Engine with plenty of torque in the middle

good brake

pleasant ergonomics

current electronic features

smooth clutch

authentic look

a fair offer

Brake needs manual force
