If you want a scrambler-styled 1200cc twin without the BMW or Triumph price tag, this is the one to look at. 11,400 EUR gets you a 1222cc parallel twin with 83 PS, genuine presence, and 2-year warranty. It looks right, it pulls hard from low revs, and it’s priced honestly.<\/p>\n

Why you’d actually want this bike<\/h2>\n

You know what you’re not going to see at every cafe racer meet? Another Brixton Cromwell 1200. That’s the point. While everyone else is on a Bonneville or an R nineT, you’ve got something with more character and significantly less on the stamp. The 1222cc twin sounds right, pulls hard when you want it to, and looks like it belongs in a 1970s showroom rather than a modern motorcycle catalogue.<\/p>\n

This is a bike for riders who chose their motorcycle the way they chose their music - with some actual thought put into it, not just defaulting to the obvious choice.<\/p>\n

The engine<\/h2>\n

1222cc parallel twin. 83 PS. 108 Nm at 3,100 rpm. What matters is that torque figure and where it arrives - low and early, which means you barely need to rev it. Twist the throttle and it just goes. Town riding is easy. Overtaking is effortless. Motorway cruising at 130-140 km\/h is no sweat.<\/p>\n

Fuel consumption around 4.6 l\/100km means 300 km from the 16-litre tank. For a twin at this displacement, that’s decent.<\/p>\n
