For the beautiful little escapes
The Street Twin is not a real travel machine, and not only because of the lack of wind protection. For this, it is ideal for the little freedom in between. With the Triumph you can move quickly, but above all calmly through the area. Delights in her sight, the sound and the lightness of her curves.
Happy for two. Schatzi, Mausi and the curve god are already waiting.
The test bike was provided to us by Triumph Hamburg.
