Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thunderbird 2009

Triumph Thunderbird 2009

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.

Kawasaki W800 2012

Kawasaki W800 2012

Without purpose, without instruction, without duty. And the more time you spend with her, the more you realise that the whole world can do you. Like in the sixties.

Plenty of power

stable

comfortable seat

confident look

user-friendly handling.

Rather high total weight.
