The machine was made available to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Neumünster. If you really want to experience something, go there and dare to take a test drive. Every test driver is guaranteed not to forget them.
Good job
Upright and classic, the Twin stands in the frame, upright and assembled, the Triumph Pilot sits at a height of 807 millimeters, and this sitting position characterizes the bike. There's little to complain about here, the owner of this bike is definitely on par with the competing motorcycles like the BMW R nineT,Kawasaki Z900RS or Honda CB1100EX.
What else to forget? Oh yes: the side stand is hidden and fuzzy to use. This is criticism at the highest level, because you have to look for more points with the magnifying glass. Class made, triumph.
The test bike was provided to us by Triumph Hamburg.
