Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2017
Keeping a motorbike model technically up to date for over 60 years without visually departing much from its origins is an enormous challenge - which Triumph has mastered brilliantly with the Bonneville T120 Black. The larger 1200cc engine, the electronics and many modern details have been wonderfully embedded in the old school look. The performance is impressive, but the focus is still on cosiness and that certain flair that defines a Bonnie. And here Triumph has once again hit the bull's eye amidst the many retro attempts of the competition.
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!
