Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Tuareg 660 2023

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 has a great straddle. This doesn't just mean its off-road and asphalt capabilities. Rather, the Aprilia succeeds in accommodating beginners and inspiring experienced riders. It rides easily, but also very fast when needed. On the other hand, with 240 mm of suspension travel, it offers enormous reserves, but still rides really well on asphalt. A versatile motorbike!

Great chassis makes for great handling and overall really great ride

Cleanly tuned engine

Linear torque curve makes for a pleasant and stress-free ride

Simple and logical control concept for the electronics

Great electronic riding aids with good quickshifter

Lively and accessible overall appearance

Riding aids can also be adjusted immediately while riding in a practical way

Great ergonomics

Motorcycle feels light

240 mm suspension travel!

No 2-cylinder punch at low revs

The look of the front polarises

Wind protection and weather protection mediocre

Price level above average

BMW F 900 XR 2022

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness
