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. The test consisted of 1,400-miles covering everything from motorways to mountain passes, and whatever we threw at the bike, it handled…

A couple more Bangkok Show specials have surfaced today with these two Hondas. MotoSaigon.vn was the first to peg up pictures of the gorgeous CB300TT special and the slightly-more ho-hum gold-coloured CB650 Scrambler-derived bike.
