Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2018
The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.
BMW S 1000 R 2020
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
