It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.
Triumph Trophy SE 2015

First impressions are known to be deceptive, the Trophy SE appears extremely bulky and immobile when stationary, but it is more agile than expected. In a pleasing way, it manages to negotiate even the tightest bends in one go with a little lunging. Of course, this is helped by the powerful engine with its good pull from below - there are no nasty surprises to be expected from the power unit. The equipment is also impressive and leaves little to be desired with a hi-fi system, electric windshield, cruise control and many other features. Operation via the many buttons is not entirely intuitive and the feel of the individual parts could be a little better. However, the Triumph Trophy SE is by no means poorly finished and its agile appearance makes it an extremely good match.
