Triumph Trophy SE 2017 vs. BMW K 1200 LT 2009

Triumph Trophy SE 2017

First impressions are known to be deceptive, the Trophy SE appears extremely bulky and immobile when stationary, but it is more agile than expected. In a pleasing way, it manages to negotiate even the tightest bends in one go with a little lunging. Of course, this is helped by the powerful engine with its good pull from below - there are no nasty surprises to be expected from the power unit. The equipment is also impressive and leaves little to be desired with a hi-fi system, electric windshield, cruise control and many other features. Operation via the many buttons is not entirely intuitive and the feel of the individual parts could be a little better. However, the Triumph Trophy SE is by no means poorly finished and its agile appearance makes it an extremely good match.
