BMW R 1200 GS 2009

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.

Honda CBR600RR 2009

Honda CBR600RR 2009

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.
