After just a few kilometres on the R, you feel as if you've been allowed to spend a day in a tailor-made suit tailored with a lot of experience and tradition. You behave more cultivated than usual, a little more mature, a little more polite, definitely proud.

Stylish

strong engine

optimal ABS, ASC and ESA

hard, pleasant sound.

Seat very unfamiliar.

The Triumph's overall appearance is somewhere between Harley and the Japanese. The overall design and image of the brand is a little more appealing than the bikes from Japan. But it can't compete with the appearance of a V-Rod Muscle, for example. But it is also about 6,000 euros cheaper than the V-Rod. So there is still a lot of budget left for accessories to catch up in front of the ice cream parlour.

Sophisticated sound

good workmanship

stable chassis

powerful engine.

Very high total weight

manual force required for braking.
