Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 GS 2018

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Bonneville 2015

Compared to the other classic Triumph models, the Bonneville is the fastest bike. The Scrambler, for example, offers less reserves because of the tyres alone, and the Speedmaster has even less lean angle clearance due to its design. However, the Bonnie is a fully-fledged and versatile motorbike with which you can experience many great tours.

Comfort offered

flawless engine tuning

clean throttle response

Restricted lean angle clearance
