BMW C 400 GT 2019

With its 350 cubic capacity, 34 hp and 35 Newton metres of torque, the C 400 GT plays perfectly in the luxury scooter middle class. The weight of 212 kilos ready to ride is put into perspective when it comes to handling thanks to the low centre of gravity; instead, the powerful brakes at the front provide a surprising amount of sportiness. Nevertheless, comfort is not neglected, the seating position is comfortable, the chassis offers sufficient reserves and the workmanship is excellent. The fact that many features such as heated grips, TFT display and heated seats cost extra should not be held against the BMW scooter, because at least you have the choice of whether or not to add them.

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
