Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 GT 2017

BMW K 1600 GT 2017

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2021

The Rocket 3 GT is a ship of a motorbike. Starting with the crazy engine and finishing with the long wheelbase. It's all the more surprising that Triumph's engineers have managed to teach it manners even in tighter bends. The Rocket 3's manoeuvrability is the real surprise of this 300-kilogram machine. All sorts of little helpers enable safe riding in every situation. It's great that we are allowed to drive such masterpieces of engineering - provided, of course, that we have the necessary money.

Authentic touring character

a monument of an engine, yet super controllable

good brakes

comfortable seating position

neutral handling

world record for displacement and torque

high-quality workmanship.

Sissybar not to everyone's taste

vehicle very wide with handlebar end mirror
