Triumph Bonneville T100 2021

Triumph Bonneville T100 2021

In 2021, the Triumph Bonneville T100 not only impresses with its stunningly beautiful design, but also looks better than ever in terms of riding. More power, less weight and higher-quality equipment make it a really fun machine for relaxed rides. From country roads to the hustle and bustle of the city, it benefits from its light handling and powerful engine. Sporty rides are prevented by the soft chassis and the low lean angle, but such a rowdy way of moving is not appropriate for a British lady anyway.

Moto Guzzi V7 Special 2021

The Moto Guzzi V7 remains true to itself in 2021 and despite the new engine. With its 65 hp, the V7 Special 850 is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, but remains the same motorbike of pleasure with lots of Italian emotion and a mighty dollop of coolness. If you like classic style elements and decelerated riding dynamics, the Moto Guzzi V7 is probably one of the most authentic retro motorbikes on the market.
