Conclusion - what sticks
Very good start of Brixton in this segment! The Cromwell 1200 does exactly what you expect it to do. It conveys a classic retro roadster feeling, drives well, brakes well, sounds good, is well made and looks good. The British competition has not yet been fine-tuned, but it is also cheaper.The test bike was kindly provided by 2Rad Stadie in Pinneberg for this test. There she stands in the most beautiful color variant in our opinion as a demonstrator and is happy about test drivers. If you find the grey version more beautiful: You can find it there too. And there are also beautiful country roads for test driving and the shop is also conveniently located directly on the A23 motorway. So, let's go for a test drive - greetings to Ralf and his great dog!
