Yamaha R7 2023

Yamaha R7 2023

All in all, the R7 is a very good beginner's track bike that prepared me for track riding in a safe, pleasant and in no way strenuous way and accompanied me along the way. The pleasant yet track-ready ergonomics, the light weight, the fantastic tyres, brakes and suspension components and the torquey engine at low and medium revs allowed me to correct mistakes that most novice track riders make, and all without bringing me down, scaring me, scaring me or even making me throw in the towel.

BMW R 1250 GS 2022

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.
