Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.

Yamaha XJR 1300 2007

Yamaha XJR 1300 2007

For frequent pillion rides and relaxed long-distance journeys beyond the 180 km/h limit, the potent Yamaha with its combination of sovereign, smooth engine and long-distance seating is highly recommended.

Visually and functionally coherent

comfortable chassis

soft seat

superior braking system.

"Under-designed" components of the injection system.
