BMW R 1250 RS 2023

BMW R 1250 RS 2023

For me, the BMW R 1250 RS epitomises the classic sports tourer to perfection. The seating position, the engine tuning, the suspension and the electronics - everything has been done just right. For me, the best sport touring motorcycle on the market comes from BMW.

High stability in long turns

agile, revvy boxer engine

good looks

comfortable riding position

extensive accessories list

great ESA suspension

great balance between sport and touring

good feel for the front

wide handlebars for precise control

compact but practical windscreen adjustment

good mirror position

Low position of the sat nav requires looking away from the road

Combined Braking System with ABS requires familiarisation

Cardan drive requires somewhat rougher gear changes

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2021

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2021

In the past, the exclusive dream motorbikes usually came from the class of sports bikes. But with the new Multistrada, Ducati delivers a real banger in the touring enduro league. The bike rides through the radii with playful ease. So you are perfectly capable of using the exuberant power every now and then. The great experience is garnished by the extensive electronics package, which sets the bar very high overall.

Great enduro feeling paired with smart elegance

great brakes

fascinating, impressively powerful engine

engine performance through terrific response

wonderfully controllable

pleasant seating position

practical ergonomics in every situation

fascinating radar system that is a pleasure to use in practice on the motorway

great wind protection

high stability even at high speeds

energy-saving and easy to ride

great handling.

High fuel consumption

high CO2 emissions

bulky operating concept

engine loves revs - not all riders in the touring enduro league like this.
