Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2021
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2021
The new Honda Gold Wing is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. Nevertheless, there is no lack of comfort, the seat is wonderfully comfortable, the wind protection is sufficient due to the somewhat lower windshield - but it is good for the looks. The Gold Wing Tour models have a higher windshield and top case anyway. Theoretically, the Gold Wing can be upgraded to a Gold Wing Tour with a top case and higher windshield, but then the traction control is missing, which is standard on the Gold Wing Tour and Gold Wing Tour DCT.
