Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle VRSCF 2011

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

BMW R nineT 2015

Strategically perfectly implemented, accompanied by great marketing, it then does exactly what it is supposed to do on the road: It rides right into the heart. A cool motorbike with little frippery that rides great. Due to the somewhat rough engine and the cafe racer seating position, it is not easy to ride for the first few metres. But once you've settled into the saddle of the nineT, you won't want to change it.

Simple and earthy motorbike with a modern overall package

Hearty sound

Even "non-motorcyclists" recognise the special flair of the bike in front of the café

Not just for posing: Thanks to the high-quality chassis, it's also great to ride.

High price

Long waiting time when buying (will improve in the course of 2015)

Touring length is somewhat limited by lack of wind protection
