Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR650R 2022

The 2021 update of the Honda CBR650R solves the biggest problem of the previous year's model: the overly comfortable chassis. The new Showa fork gives the sports bike a much sportier response, which is immediately noticeable on winding country roads. However, one should not expect a thoroughbred super sports bike, but a road sports bike suitable for everyday use, on which one can experience a lot of pleasure in the saddle both on the way to work and on a weekend ride.

Resilient four-cylinder

comfortable seating position

improved chassis for 2021

cool look

easy to operate.

Engine sluggish below 8,000 revolutions

LC display now looks old-fashioned

Triumph Thruxton RS 2021

The Thruxton RS is authentically modelled on the café racers of the sixties - dreamy looks from nostalgics are guaranteed. In the saddle, however, it feels anything but retro. High-quality chassis, high-performance brakes, noble looks and a high level of agility make a sporty after-work ride a pleasure, both aesthetically and in terms of riding dynamics.
