Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

engine could use more pepper

Honda CBF 1000 2009

As far as fun is concerned, the wicked look and slim shape of the CBF1000F at least already suggest that it won't fall by the wayside. A motorbike that can do so much that it may seem too ordinary to many. But a motorbike will never be that. That's what it boils down to: spurned at the pub, bought at the dealer.

Moped

beginner and re-entry friendly

easy handling

cockpit

C-ABS

powerful engine.
