Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 XR 2024

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride

cool looks, great display

good brakes

easy handling

stable ride feel

great connectivity

maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

Hard seat

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

engine could use more pepper

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2024

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is still a wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine. It reminds us why we love motorbikes. It provides great moments in the saddle that make you forget practical disadvantages. The Marzocchi suspension elements installed since 2024 work incredibly well and, in conjunction with the Brembo Stylema system, make the XE a factor not to be underestimated in the country road duel. Off-road, it is unrivalled in this class anyway. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.
