BMW F 800 GT 2017

BMW F 800 GT 2017

BMW has refined and improved the F 800 GT in the course of the EURO4 update. This starts with the visual upgrades such as classy logos and ends with the standard Road and Rain riding modes. Buyers can find further amenities in the extensive accessories catalogue, which quickly exacerbates the mild entry price. But the F 800 GT feels like a "big one" and awakens pride of ownership. It moves confidently, safely and extremely sportily through the city and across the country. The classic sports tourer in its most beautiful form.

Yamaha MT-09 2014

Yamaha MT-09 2014

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
