BMW R 1200 GS 2017

BMW R 1200 GS 2017

For over 35 years, BMW has continued to expand the boxer range and is consistently working on the evolution of the GS. In addition to the EURO4 update of the engine with new catalytic converter and mapping, there are now even more features such as the Dynamic ESA Next Generation with automatic riding position compensation, which further improves stability and comfort for the rider. With its subtle colour scheme, the Exclusive version is intended for friends of a neat and subdued appearance and, unlike the flashier Rallye variant, is designed more for the road. Many features are at extra cost, but GS customers usually don't care - 90 percent are ordered with full equipment.

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 2022

With its three-cylinder engine and high-quality equipment, Triumph has made a real statement with the Tiger Sport 660. In the small sports tourer class, it stands out from the field and offers a good compromise between sportiness and touring suitability. We would recommend the quickshifter to every buyer and we hope that Triumph will optimise the chassis in the next model revision. A real recommendation for fans of compact touring motorbikes!

great engine

optional quickshifter is a MUST

comfortable ergonomics

high-quality equipment

good wind protection

Chassis too soft at sporty speeds
