Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2023

The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride after a little familiarisation. The single-disc brake at the front has a lot of work to do and the fat 160 front tyre does not steer in quite naturally. In addition, the rider has to cope with a hard suspension and a seating position that is energy-sapping on long stages - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.
Indian 101 Scout 2024

The Indian Scout 101 is without doubt a great bike that offers impressive power, excellent handling for its class and modern technology in an attractive overall package. However, with a price of over 21,000 euros in Austria and 19,000 euros in Germany, it is no bargain either. Those who can do without the full equipment with fully adjustable suspension and double disc brakes can fall back on the cheaper models. The Scout 101 is a bike that not only looks good, but is also a real pleasure to ride. A real highlight in the cruiser segment that makes you want to pull on your helmet and ask yourself: "Why didn't I ride a Scout before?"
