It has 17-inch wheels front and back as well as aluminum clip-ons, sports style front mudguard, and a café-style p-pad cover that all lend to the café look. If I'm honest, a lot of that comes down to looks, and yes, I am exactly that shallow because at the end of the day, you want to feel a connection with your machine, and that comes down to personal taste.” She Said “Is it worth the extra money? I'll give you a definite “probably,” though my personal bias is kicking in here, and I prefer the Brit. Ducati comes off looking a bit prouder at the checkout against the $10,500 Street Cup. Trumpet powers the Street Cup with its 900 cc Bonneville engine for a slight edge in cubeage but the difference in engine layout camouflages any potential advantage as the Bonneville plant claims 55 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of grunt against 73/49 from the Duc. I'll leave it to you to decide if it's worth losing the traction control in order to gain the lean-sensitive ABS. Looks aside, Trumpet hits the ground running with RbW throttle control, switchable TC, ABS and a slipper clutch, so it's packing some extra fandanglery that the CR just can't touch. ![]() The blackout also ties into the custom culture for a little lagniappe charm and historical depth, though Triumph certainly has deep enough roots to be able to draw on its own experience, much the same as Ducati, so this is definitely a battle of the giants. Of course, the parallel-twin plant reinforces that old school Trumpet café look even though it's actually liquid cooled, but the radiator is very inconspicuous against the liberal blackout treatment, I must say.
