BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2021

BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2021

The Adventure is the ultimate touring machine. The high seat height limits the target group, as does the high price. But if you overcome these two hurdles, you get a magnificent mile-eater. The engine shakes all kinds of driving fun out of its sleeves. The low fuel consumption in combination with the gigantic 30-litre tank ensures an incredibly long range.

Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition 2024

The Ténéré 700 Extreme replaces the "Rally" model variation and scores with even more off-road capability. Brutal KYB spring components with 230 millimetre front and 220 millimetre rear suspension unleash their full power off-road and promise uncompromising rides even on single trails and demanding tracks. The off-road-optimised titanium footrests provide perfect grip on off-road terrain.
