Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

The Speed Triple remains true to its line in the latest generation - a wonderfully sharp naked bike that characterises the streetfighter style like hardly any other model. It only makes limited sense for the racetrack - of course, the roaring three-cylinder engine with 140 hp is enormous fun and the Fafhrwerk shows no gross weaknesses, but there is a Speed Triple R with Öhlins suspension elements that naturally feels more at home on the racetrack. All in all, the Speed Triple S is an excellent country road fighter that also has a lot to offer in terms of looks.

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

A fascinatingly perfect motorbike. It rides easily, stably, precisely and quickly. You could almost say it's too perfect to pass for an emotional Italian. But the awesome V4 sound pulls it out again in 2017. For some, the Tuono as a naked bike is too close to a super sports bike. If that doesn't bother you, you'll love it as the best bike in its class.

Best electronics package in the nakedbike league

Super-sport level cornering speed and precision

Excellent brakes

Spookily easy to ride

suspension is great, but not semi-active - for mixed road/track use you have to screw it on.
