Superbike for everyday use

What's stuck? The Multistrada is a capped superbike that is suitable for everyday use, allows long tours at a time, is fast and also ensures the passenger a comfortable livelihood.

It offers almost the same riding performance as a superbike, the same stability when it needs to go faster and packs a wendigkeit. It is the superbike for the rider, who no longer wants to edge on the motorcycle, but may enjoy the upright posture.
With her whole facility she enjoyed Dietmar and me a lot.

For everyone else, think about it well. If you don't want to be constantly challenged, who enjoys the peace, who gets the constant roar ingenuity on your nerves, who wants to cruise first – let it stay.

The test bike was provided to us by Ducati Hamburg.

Conclusion - what sticks

The Triumph Bonneville T100 vintage 2021 is a harmonious bike through and through. The components around the magnificent 900 Twin are super coordinated. Nothing surprises or seems inappropriate. If you think the 900 cc engine offers too little power and therefore tends to 1200cc models from Triumph, you should definitely take a test drive. We find the small engine more casual and more suitable for retro bikes.

The competition for the T100 comes mainly from within the company: the Street Twin and the Street Scrambler have the same engine and are similar in many ways. But they are not as classic as the T100, so if the retro style is important to you, this Bonnie is the right place for you. As an alternative, in our opinion, the Kawasaki W800, the Guzzi V7 and the Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor come into question.

We kindly received the test machine from Triumph Hamburg.
