Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Twin 2016
The Triumph Street Twin is a pleasure bike par excellence, whose 55 hp engine impressively proves what really matters, namely torque. And exactly where you need it, in the middle of the rev range. 80 Nm push the 217 kg motorbike forward with pleasant pressure and never tempt the rider to overtax the engine, i.e. to rev it. In terms of design, Triumph remained authentic as usual and offers countless possibilities for customisation with over 450 accessories and the three "Inspiration Packs". A lesson in modern classics.
Yamaha XSR700 2016
If you want an entry-level motorbike that will keep you happy for a long time, but at the same time has a cool retro look, there's really no getting around the Yamaha XSR 700. With the MT-07 as the technical basis, you're buying what is probably the most popular beginner's motorbike at the moment - just in a different guise. The XSR 700's greatest triumph is its unbelievably elastic in-line two-cylinder, which neither overtaxes beginners nor bores experienced motorcyclists. The throttle response is pleasantly direct and the power develops very harmoniously, there will never be an 'oops' moment here. However, the XSR 700 should be seen as a relaxed cruiser rather than a sporty motorbike. The chassis sways very easily when ridden fast and brings uncertainty into the vehicle. Experienced riders will find it easy to cope with, but a beginner may be overwhelmed.
