BMW F 900 XR 2025

BMW F 900 XR 2025

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

Suzuki V-Strom 800 2023

Suzuki V-Strom 800 2023

The Suzuki V-Strom 800 impresses in the travel test with its great balance. It is relaxed to ride in everyday life, remains comfortable on longer journeys and delivers more riding pleasure on winding roads than its sober appearance would suggest. It is precisely this versatility that makes it a strong travelling companion.

easy to handle, yet fun and powerful two-cylinder engine

high level of ride comfort

relaxed ergonomics

good-natured and predictable riding performance

balanced touring qualities

confident on varying tarmac surfaces

Suspension clearly comfort-orientated at very ambitious speeds

limited maximum lean angle

only suitable to a limited extent for rough off-road use (ABS cannot be disengaged)

wind protection for tall riders only okay, not brilliant
