BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2015

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2015

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.

Husqvarna Nuda 900 2012

Husqvarna Nuda 900 2012

Even after more than 10 years since its launch, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 continues to inspire as the ultimate fun bike. Its greatest strengths are its emotional, powerful yet precisely controllable engine, the dreamlike sound it produces and its agile handling. As a sporty naked bike, it does not focus much on comfort and its long travel and high seat can cause problems for people with short legs. The biggest challenges, however, are firstly its rarity when buying and then the lack of a manufacturer who feels responsible for spare parts and service.
