Harley-Davidson Sportster S vs Triumph Bonneville Bobber Comparison

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S certainly has a lot going for it. Great looks, a punchy engine, and all the latest electronics and chassis components that you may seek in a thoroughly modern motorcycle. But the lack of suspension travel, and the feet forward riding position robs the Sportster S of comfort and practicality. Limited fuel tank capacity, and ergonomics aren’t suitable to take the Sportster S out for a long-ish ride. As a motorcycle, the new Sportster S makes a solid case as a modern-day Harley-Davidson. The design may have polarising opinions, particularly from the ‘classic’ Harley faithful. Despite its negatives, it does make for an attractive proposition, if it’s a quintessential Harley-Davidson one is looking for, in a more modern, performance-oriented avatar.

The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is designed for a single rider only, so if you're thinking of occasionally getting a pillion on board, this isn't the bike for you. But what it offers is probably the best of both worlds - a stylish bike with the right performance which will entertain you on each and every ride. The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is definitely good value for money, if you are into cruiser-type bikes and want to make a style statement with your ride.
