Indian Challenger Limited 2020

Indian Challenger Limited 2020

Indian cultivates its tradition and yet always tries something new. The Challenger Limited is already recognisable as a modern edition of a classic excavator by its slightly more angular fairing. With 122 hp and 178 Newton metres of torque, the engine is really powerful, and the comfortable chassis can handle not only rough bumps but also a sportier pace. Only the brakes are good, but then need a lot of manual force to decelerate the almost 400 kilograms of road-ready weight at a brisk pace. The electrically height-adjustable windshield is ingenious, turning the Challenger-Bagger into a Challenger-Tourer!

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2021

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.
