Kawasaki Meguro S1 2025

Kawasaki Meguro S1 2025

The Meguro S1 is a refreshingly honest riding machine with a clear focus on classic riding feel and decent riding dynamics.

Very good feel for the front

surprisingly wide usable torque curve

harmonious handling

cultivated engine running

low seat height

successful retro look with functional technology

Limited maximum lean angle

overtaking manoeuvres on country roads at over 90 km/h very tough

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017

Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017

Keeping a motorbike model technically up to date for over 60 years without visually departing much from its origins is an enormous challenge - which Triumph has mastered brilliantly with the Bonneville T120 Black. The larger 1200cc engine, the electronics and many modern details have been wonderfully embedded in the old school look. The performance is impressive, but the focus is still on cosiness and that certain flair that defines a Bonnie. And here Triumph has once again hit the bull's eye amidst the many retro attempts of the competition.

Powerful engine with decent torque

comfortable seating position

good brakes

wonderfully authentic look

Suspension only adjustable in spring preload at the rear

unnecessary, but also not annoying performance modes
