BMW S 1000 XR 2022

BMW S 1000 XR 2022

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a supersports bike. It sounds like a compromise - but it rides like a precisely targeted development. The bike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, the integration of the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. Although the suspension adapts well to the load, it is never sensitive or really comfortable. The seating comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a little sharp when touring for long distances. Nevertheless, it's a great bike for sporty riding but also for long distances.

Riding modes change reponsiveness in practice

great revvy four-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

well-balanced vehicle - even with a pillion - thanks to electronic suspension with automatic load condition detection

good brakes

Knee angle a bit tight for tall people when touring long distances

suspension does not dampen sensitively enough - no really comfortable setup possible

high fuel consumption

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2024

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2024

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT with 19" front wheel turns out to be a suitable candidate for all those who want to ride to work every day, but don't want to miss out on the fun of after-work rides and weekend excursions on two wheels. Despite its size and considerable weight, the Africa twin cylinder is easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and can be used for enduro laps. The DCT version in particular is easy on the hand and prevents constant clutching, resulting in greater safety.

Good protection from the elements

Very smooth ride for commuting on the motorway

Good control of the bike despite its hefty weight due to the low seat height

Proven engine now with even more power

More feedback in colder months thanks to the new 19 inch front wheel

Navigation in the city with Google Maps on Apple Car Play

Apple CarPlay requires cable connection

annoying operating concept

uncomfortable seating position for tall drivers over long distances

seat somewhat uncomfortable
