Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2021

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2021

The new Honda Gold Wing is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. Nevertheless, there is no lack of comfort, the seat is wonderfully comfortable, the wind protection is sufficient due to the somewhat lower windshield - but it is good for the looks. The Gold Wing Tour models have a higher windshield and top case anyway. Theoretically, the Gold Wing can be upgraded to a Gold Wing Tour with a top case and higher windshield, but then the traction control is missing, which is standard on the Gold Wing Tour and Gold Wing Tour DCT.

KTM 390 Adventure 2022

KTM 390 Adventure 2022

The small 390 Adventurr can be seen as an absolute all-rounder in its class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that does not overtax inexperienced on- and off-road riders, but supports them. The sporty but comfortable seating position and the decent wind protection make even longer tours possible. No matter what surface you ride it on, the 390 Adventure is a lot of fun - but most of all in tight corners!

Powerful engine

adjustable chassis

good wind protection

top price-performance ratio

high-quality electronics package including lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS

optional Quickshifter+

real fun machine on any surface.

A little too compact for tall pilots
