In addition to the half shell, the XJ6 Diversion also offers a main stand. Overall, it makes a solid impression. The colours suit it well and nothing stands in the way of longer tours. Riding comfort is naturally higher than on the XJ6 due to the wind protection. This is particularly noticeable at higher speeds.
BMW F 700 GS 2016

The smaller of the two F GS sisters, the F 700 GS convinces with a successful overall performance. It looks like its big sister, but at its core it is more of a lively naked bike than a big enduro. The fact that the bike has outgrown the entry-level segment can be seen in the braking system - with two brake discs at the front, it is on a par with its big 800 sister and now decelerates just as confidently. In terms of the chassis, it convinces with good suspension comfort and at the same time a firm set-up in tight bends. Upgrading is never a problem with BMW; in addition to traction control, there is also the electronic suspension ESA for the F 700 GS.
