Bike Model: Naked

The name may be Vulcan 900 Classic but you should hear “definitive”. This midsized cruiser has the timeless goods wrapped in a long, low package with a presence that’s larger than its name. From its stylish paint scheme to its spoked wheels, the Vulcan garners attention wherever it goes. Details such as rider footboards and tank-mounted instrumentation, which includes a handy fuel gauge and an easy-to-read analogue speedometer, only strengthen the bike’s ties with tradition.

A new three cylinder naked bike aimed at the LAMS market, Triumph’s new Trident uses a Traditional Triumph name on an all-new bike aimed at a young audience. Sporty, capable and different to most of the twin-cylinder machines being offered by other manufacturers, the new Trident aims to provide everything you need without expensive bells-and-whistles. There’s a tubular steel frame and the engine looks like it’s a stressed part of the chassis. The twin front discs, big banana-shaped swingarm and USD forks point toward a sporty ride, but the seat-footpeg-handlebar positions point to something not too aggressive. So it’s going to be an all rounder, good looking, capable and economic. With the success other manufacturers have been having in this part of the market – most notably Yamaha with the MT-07 – has inspired Triumph to build a competitor.

Compact and lightweight streetfighters with attitude and the performance to back it up. Dragster was born to impress, both at rest and while in motion. The reaction at first sight is pure shock. When you hear it screaming you think, I need it! We were told this was madness. We didn’t listen.
