BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% mature in some areas, as several recalls and vulnerable components show.

Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness

Very good traction

Very stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly

Handguards offer good wind protection

With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Comprehensible operating concept

easy-to-read display

wide range of ergonomics customisation options

Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system

Very good balance with different load conditions

Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected

Suspension works at a good level - however, a truly flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday use

The bike looks a little too compact for an adventure bike when ridden by tall riders, especially from the rear

ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding

Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches on raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots

Handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road use

Mirrors with integrated blind spot warning system and exposed wiring unsuitable for off-road use

Seat comfort for rider and passenger only mediocre on long lengths - seat bench is too soft! The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances for two

Despite the high price level of the GS, the quality of some components, such as the plastic gear lever, leaves a lot to be desired

Voge Valico 900i DSX 2024

Voge Valico 900i DSX 2024

The Voge DS900X is a remarkably well-equipped machine that impresses in many areas, especially considering its price of less than 10,000 CHF/Euro. Despite some compromises in the quality of detail, such as the simple design of the logo and the somewhat hard indicator button, the DS900X offers solid features including modern safety features and comfort elements. The use of renowned brand parts for brakes, suspension and electronics sets it apart from other budget bikes. In addition, its power limit of 95 Horsepower makes it accessible to holders of an A2 driving licence, which makes it particularly attractive for novice riders. Overall, the Voge DS900X offers excellent value for money and could be an interesting option for many beginners as well as price-conscious riders.

Huge range of features included as standard

Attractive price

High-quality parts in terms of engine, suspension and brakes

A2 can be throttled

Attractive design with plenty of comfort

Connectivity and USB C charging socket

No cornering ABS

Some careless design choices in details

Ill-considered positioning of the centre stand

Nervous throttle response at low revs
