First bike - Triumph vs Honda
Hey guys,
This week I’m going to check out two different 650cc bikes because I’m finally about to buy my first motorcycle.
After considering bikes like the SV650, Z650, Interceptor 650 and Z650RS, I’ve narrowed it down to these two finalists:
- Triumph Trident 660 (€6,590) with luggage racks and touring accessories
- Honda CB650R E-Clutch (€8,990)
I honestly can’t decide between them.
The Triumph seems like a great value for the price, especially already equipped for light touring, and I really like its overall style and versatility. But I’ve also read quite a few comments about the rear suspension not being very comfortable or refined.
On the other hand, the Honda is much more expensive, but the inline-4 engine feels really special to me. With all the current emissions regulations, I’m also wondering if bikes like this will even still exist in a few years.
The Honda also has the E-Clutch system, which honestly seems like a pretty cool feature for daily riding and learning.
What would you guys choose as a first bike and why?
Thanks in advance!
