BMW R 18 Classic 2021

The BMW R 18 Classic presents itself as the second expansion stage of the magnificent boxer cruiser and offers a well-equipped all-round package. The Classic-specific equipment elevates the comfort and practicality of the R 18 without detracting from the charm of this mechanical motorbike. A great coup from BMW in more ways than one!

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

The Rocket 3 GT is a ship of a motorbike. Starting with the crazy engine and finishing with the long wheelbase. It's all the more surprising that Triumph's engineers have managed to teach it manners even in tighter bends. The Rocket 3's manoeuvrability is the real surprise of this 300-kilogram machine. All sorts of little helpers enable safe riding in every situation. It's great that we are allowed to drive such masterpieces of engineering - provided, of course, that we have the necessary money.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling
