The 2021 Triumph Bonneville T100 is the entry model in the Bonneville family. The T100 gets authentic old-school design, which is the hallmark for Triumph’s modern classic range. The T100 features a high torque, 900cc twin-cylinder Bonneville engine, which receives significant updates for 2021, resulting in a lighter and more responsive powertrain. The 900 cc parallel-twin motor makes 64 bhp at 7,400 rpm and the peak torque output is rated at 80 Nm coming in at 3,750 rpm. 

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.
