Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Twin 2019

Triumph Street Twin 2019

Except for its looks, the Triumph Street Twin is not as retro as it might appear at first glance. With its water-cooled engine, riding modes, traction control and sporty chassis components, it rather gives the impression of a naked bike disguised in retro design. But all these features, in combination with the powerful torque, become its advantage, as it does not have to hide from equally powered naked bikes at the motorbike show. The Best of Both Worlds, so to speak.

powerful engine

lots of torque

potent chassis

strong brakes

cool looks

modern safety features

large range of accessories

Perhaps already too modern for the retro segment

Honda CB650R 2019

Honda CB650R 2019

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!

Rev-happy engine

reasonable power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

very rideable motorbike

comfortable for everyday use

pretty display.

Weakness in the chassis can be seen as a disadvantage

not as much power from the hairpin as two-cylinder competition
