BMW R 1200 R 2018

The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.

The Suzuki Burgman 400 is a tried and tested maxi scooter that scores points above all for its reliability, large storage space and high level of comfort. It is ideal for daily use and longer journeys, but reaches its limits when it comes to modern technical features. For fans of classic scooters with a solid character, the Burgman remains a good choice, even if it is slightly more expensive than the competition.

Large storage capacity

Reliable and proven technology

Stable driving style even in difficult
