Conclusion - what sticks
The Triumph Speedmaster is visually a feast for the eyes and delights its owner with many loving details. It is super processed, you would like to put it in the living room. But she doesn't belong there, because she also drives great. For a cruiser almost feather-light, it is also suitable for people under 100 kg. Sound, engine and handling make every ride a little experience - that's how it should be!Our test bike was provided by Q-Bike Triumph Hamburg . There it is for sale as a demonstrator with about 4,000 km for 13,280 euros . This includes engine protection bar, bag, heated grips and a residual warranty until 1/2026.
Conclusion - what sticks
The Honda CMX 1100 is a dignified cruiser with good driving characteristics and a complete equipment. Unlike many U.S. ships, it is neither particularly heavy nor particularly difficult to navigate. It brings a lot of fun on the road, sounds good and is also suitable for novice drivers. Although it has impressive dimensions, the rider does not feel overwhelmed in the saddle and quickly has the bike under control after a very short period of getting used to it. Operation and quality are typical of Honda. Nice cruiser!Thanks again to Andi from Hamburg for borrowing his machine. Soon there will be more tests by LeserBikes, who have responded to our video call. Thank you very much for the many offers!
