Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2022

Packed with technical features and additional equipment, the "small" Adventure is a high-tech machine. The many functions work well, and our testers were particularly impressed by the electronic chassis and the silky-smooth running of the engine. The Asian origin of the engine is not noticeable. The larger tank of the Adventure version and all the accessories drive up both the weight and the price. At 244 kg, the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a bulky lump, which doesn't please everyone. But the ergonomics are top-notch, and the seating position in the wide fairing conveys a feeling of safety and protection.

Silky-smooth engine

top ergonomics and comfort

absolutely suitable for touring

suitable for off-road

technically very mature

High price with additional equipment

engine exudes little emotion

fork not adjustable

quite high weight

MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso 2023

The Turismo Veloce brings typical MV Agusta qualities - elegant design, high-quality features and furious Italo character - to the touring segment. It combines sportiness and long-distance suitability very well, but demands a lot of attention. You have to want the extravagant appearance and the elegant look of the Italian diva, because that's what you pay for. The prices asked for used Turismo Veloce bikes are limited, but then you have to deal with the mediocre reliability and poor spare parts supply. Definitely a bike for extroverted lovers of racy Italian motorbikes.

Sharp looks

Semi-active suspension

Silky three-cylinder engine

Very agile handling

Killer engine sound

Extensive electronics package and features

Poor dealer structure

High list price

Poor spare parts supply

Technically not the most reliable bike
