Royal Enfield Himalayan 2020

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2020

The workmanship is of a surprisingly high standard for a motorbike that can be had in Germany and Austria for under 5,000 euros. Everything about the little Himalayan looks like it was built to last. Of course, the little Indian can't compete with others in terms of performance data, but it doesn't want to. It is a motorbike for individualists who want to escape society's higher, faster, further - deceleration of the first order.

BMW R 1250 GS 2020

The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!
