BMW R 1250 RT 2021

BMW R 1250 RT 2021

The BMW R 1250 RT simply feels sovereign on the grand tour. We rode the 2020 model and are already thrilled with this version. The heavy motorbike is compact in the hand and wobbles through the bends with lightning speed. A great touring motorbike.

Superb wind and weather protection

Great boxer engine

Powerful power

Easy engine control

Well-designed controls

Great integrated panniers

High stability even at high speeds

Slightly cumbersome to manoeuvre

topcase lock presented itself as somewhat stiff

gearshifts somewhat stiff at low revs

Triumph Street Scrambler 2017

Triumph Street Scrambler 2017

Extremely coherent machine with a very wide range of uses and a great experience factor.

Very harmonious appearance

perfectly fitting engine

unexpectedly good off-road performance

Footrests touch down relatively early on the road
