BMW F 800 R 2017

BMW F 800 R 2017

With a EURO4 engine, new riding modes, new instruments and new colours, the F 800 R starts the new season. It is recognisable at first glance only by the end cap on the stately stainless steel exhaust. It is one of those full-grown motorbikes that, despite its considerable sporting potential, was designed for the widest possible user group. Therefore, it is absolutely beginner-friendly (throttled), but can also inspire an experienced audience. Its character remains somewhat pragmatic, but the unmistakable, hollow sound of the inline two compensates for this.

Husqvarna Norden 901 2022

During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.
