The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 looks like a magnificent but also powerful motorbike in the photos. But even when test riding it, it becomes slender and dainty. On the test ride, it goes even further. It is an accessible and easy-to-ride motorbike. In fact, it's small, compact and lively. A good choice if you want to ride 1200 cc and 97 hp and always thought that was way too much. In detail, the Triumph is lovingly and beautifully finished. A heart-warming motorbike.

In direct comparison with its little sister, the Tiger 800 XC, the Tiger Sport 1050 can only score in one area: The brakes are extremely well-balanced and apply properly when you need them. In most other disciplines, however, it cannot prevail. Especially in handling, the big 1050 is much more stubborn than its little sister. Since it can't really be used off-road, its radius of action is much narrower than that of the Tiger 800 XC. However, if you are looking for a universal partner for the road, which, in addition to a comfortable riding position, should also offer a certain amount of sport, the Tiger Sport 1050 is certainly not the wrong choice.
