BMW F 850 GS Adventure 2021

Packed with technical features and additional equipment, the "small" Adventure is a high-tech machine. The many functions work well, and our testers were particularly impressed by the electronic chassis and the silky-smooth running of the engine. The Asian origin of the engine is not noticeable. The larger tank of the Adventure version and all the accessories drive up both the weight and the price. At 244 kg, the BMW F 850 GS Adventure is a bulky lump, which doesn't please everyone. But the ergonomics are top-notch, and the seating position in the wide fairing conveys a feeling of safety and protection.
BMW F 900 XR 2023

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.
