Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2021
O melhor é inimigo do bom, este ditado mais uma vez prova ser impressionantemente verdadeiro no caso da nova Triumph Speed Twin. Os britânicos trabalharam nos pontos fracos da antecessora e, assim, transformaram a beleza clássica numa verdadeira máquina de condução que não tem de se esconder das modernas motos naked. Infelizmente, os pilotos altos não podem desfrutar da pequena 1200 tão facilmente como os pilotos com menos de 1,85 metros. Seja como for, a Speed Twin é a moto clássica moderna perfeita para mim - combina o aspeto clássico com o manuseamento moderno como nenhuma outra moto no mercado atual.
