Triumph Thunderbird Commander 2014

Triumph Thunderbird Commander 2014

The Triumph Thunderbird Commander can't keep up with the performance of the Ducati Diavel, but it surprises even more than the Italian with its agile performance. It's amazing how quickly you can zip around the bends in comparative stability despite the dragging running boards. When the going gets really tight, the Diavel is no longer any fun. In terms of looks, it goes the classic route with all its chrome and holds the flag high for the typical cruiser. In any case, we wouldn't want to miss either the Ducati Diavel or the Triumph Thunderbird Commander in the wide-ranging motorbike world!

Typical and classy cruiser look with lots of chrome

parallel twin with enormous torque

comfortable seating position

stable handling

good brakes.

Very high weight

little lean angle clearance

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2019

The more comfortable version of the two new Rocket 3 models convinces with more comfort features such as heated grips, windshield and a more comfortable seating position - and therefore with a more universal design than the Rocket 3 R. However, the GT also has the charismatic "ship's diesel" on board, which behaves very sociably despite the incredible torque of 221 Newton metres. The neutral handling even makes the bike, which weighs over 300 kilos, a motorbike for winding country roads - but it should not be too tight. If you want to go on tour with the largest standard engine, you certainly can't go wrong with the Rocket 3 GT.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

high-quality workmanship.

Sissybar not to everyone's taste
