Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2023
Packed with technical features and additional equipment, the "small" Adventure is a high-tech machine. The many functions work well, and our testers were particularly impressed by the electronic chassis and the silky-smooth running of the engine. The Asian origin of the engine is not noticeable. The larger tank of the Adventure version and all the accessories drive up both the weight and the price. At 244 kg, the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a bulky lump, which doesn't please everyone. But the ergonomics are top-notch, and the seating position in the wide fairing conveys a feeling of safety and protection.
Honda XL750 Transalp 2025
The essence of the Honda XL750 Transalp has not completely changed with the revision for 2025, it still manages the balancing act between different disciplines of motorcycling and shines wherever it doesn't get too extreme. Its greatest strengths are its low weight and the resulting easy handling. The engine is a really powerful unit and the engine management is well setup, but the inline-two could offer a little more punch at low revs. The suspension has now been improved, the brakes offer plenty of comfort and handle all moderate riding situations with aplomb, but merciless cornering or hard off-roads are still not entirely suited to it. However, the Transalp's task is not to win races or rallies, but to carry everyday riders and long-distance touring riders through the world with confidence. And it can do that! Only one thing hurts here: The lack of cruise control.
