Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally Edition 2020

It's no secret that the Ténéré 700 impresses with its simple, solid design. With the special "Rally" model, the Japanese are upgrading the touring enduro, which is particularly popular with off-road fans, in precisely this direction. Dakar styling, robust protective elements and Akrapovic rear silencer really make a statement. Plus the familiar Ténéré virtues. Makes you want to go on a trip around the world.

High-torque, reliable engine

Robustness and simplicity

Sharp Dakar look

Playfully easy handling.

Hard seat

Seat height challenging for small riders

The BMW R 1250 GS also presents itself as a very complete bike in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it impresses on intensive rides. The bike scores points with its superb engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in a direct comparison with other top-of-the-range touring enduros, it shows its first weaknesses in terms of features and components. In direct comparison, however, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely high-torque boxer engine

comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

great app integration

sophisticated operating concept

great ergonomics

many customisation options

great handling with strong confidence in the front

easy to ride

Shifting at low revs is choppy

seat too slack

brakes and suspension no longer at the level of the strong competition
