BMW S 1000 XR 2021

BMW S 1000 XR 2021

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a super sports bike. Sounds like a compromise - but rides like a spot-on development. The motorbike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, integration from the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive, and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. The chassis adapts well to the load condition, but it never becomes sensitive and really comfortable. The seat comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a bit acute on long tours. Nevertheless, this is a great motorbike that you like to ride sportily, but also very far.

Riding modes change response behaviour suitable for practical use

great rev-happy four-cylinder engine with a broad usable rev band

well-balanced vehicle - also with pillion passenger - thanks to electronic chassis with automatic recognition of load condition

good brakes

Knee angle on long tours a bit narrow for tall people

suspension damping not sensitive enough - no really comfortable setup possible

consumption high

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro comes with a powerful in-line three-cylinder engine and a lot of equipment. The all-round carefree package on two wheels can be steered with confidence, but clearly prefers a more leisurely pace. If that doesn't bother you, you'll enjoy the smooth electronic chassis, good wind protection and plenty of comfort features. However, the newly developed Tiger 1200 is (still) a little rough around the edges, as can be seen, for example, in the stronger load change reactions and high-frequency vibrations on motorway stages.

Linear, predictable power delivery

Extensive electronics package

Good wind protection

Comfortable seating position

Top brakes

High-frequency vibrations at certain speeds

rather sluggish handling

load change reactions

grips unfavourably positioned for pillion passenger
