Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 R 2015

The F 800 R is a motorbike without any real weaknesses, but remains rather unobtrusive overall even after the update. A very positive feature is the overall equipment, which is of very high quality in this league.

High-quality equipment such as ESA, RDC and ASC

very universally usable

fast to ride and still comfortable

The affordable entry-level bike becomes relatively high-priced when you implement all the extras

terrific on paper and while riding, but it lacks that certain something to become "cult" like a Monster or a Street Triple.

Triumph America 2011

All in all, the America is a motorbike that goes straight to the heart for a reasonable price and doesn't just look pretty. For a motorbike of this class, braking and handling are somewhat unusual, but the lean angle clearance is rather sad, as is usual for this class of motorbike.

Bubbling sound

simple, transparent handling

pleasant engine.

Lean angle freedom restricted.
