Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 RT 2023

BMW R 1250 RT 2023

The BMW R 1250 RT simply feels sovereign on the grand tour. We rode the 2020 model and are already thrilled with this version. The heavy motorbike is compact in the hand and wobbles through the bends with lightning speed. A great touring motorbike.

Superb wind and weather protection

Great boxer engine

Powerful power

Easy engine control

Well-designed controls

Great integrated panniers

High stability even at high speeds

Slightly cumbersome to manoeuvre

topcase lock presented itself as somewhat stiff

gearshifts somewhat stiff at low revs

Indian Super Chief Limited 2021

Indian Super Chief Limited 2021

A US-American V2 as it is in the book, cast in a beautiful shell - the Indian Super Chief Limited is a real treat. Pure cruising with classic looks and classic virtues. Of course, if you're expecting records for braking distance, high speed or lean angles, you're on the wrong side of the tracks. Everyone else will experience moments of happiness in the saddle. The windshield and side panniers make it a real touring machine that can also be turned into a minimalist cruiser in no time at all. The price is reasonable, but that doesn't make the Super Chief a bargain.

Quality workmanship

tremendous torque

well-graded modes

removable windshield and saddlebags as standard

low fuel consumption

relaxed seating position

enough space and power for two-person operation.

Front brake undersized

little rear damping

proud price
