Posted
by
Our latest in-helmet review takes a look at the Harley-Davidson Roadster.

We put the Triumph Street Twin through its paces in Scotland. The smallest bike in the Bonneville range is designed more for towns and cities than the the Scottish Highlands, but it performed surprisingly well as a tourer.
