2. Cooling

Remember that the Triumph Bonneville discussed in this entry is the latest model of the air-cooled generation of Triumph, 865 Injection, which unlike another more recent model such as the Street Twin, which like all its companions generation (the Triumph Bonneville T120 or the Triumph Thruxton 1200 R) are liquid cooling. In this case, the Moto Guzzi is also air-cooled, as are the mythical carburization models of the past decade of Triumph, such as the Triumph Thruxton 900 or the mythical Scrambler.

This prevents us from having certain elements that do not fully correspond to aesthetics such as the huge front radiator that incorporates the new generation Triumph motorcycles or some other model already analyzed by this blog as the Yamaha XS3700. It is then to the taste and preference of each user, since although on the one hand modern models of liquid cooling have greater efficiency and durability, the fact that the huge radiator on the front of the motorcycle kills for many what It should be the aesthetics of a classic motorcycle. This fact is what drives Tamarit Motorcycles customers in many cases to acquire a second-hand motorcycle with a certain year to try to get as close as possible to that classic aspect, even if it implies detachment of certain more recent development benefits.

3. Transmission

Speaking in this part of the entry of the secondary transmission Moto Guzzi V7 ii vs Triumph Bonneville, note that in the Triumph Bonneville is a chain type, which although more expensive and delicate to maintain, is the most efficient type of transmission of all and with less loss of power. On the other hand, the Moto Guzzi V7 has the gimbal system, which although it is very suitable for trips and long-distance routes, the loss of efficiency is greater due to the large number of gears and sections. Again, it is up to the buyer to see what fits their use of their motorcycle.
