Triumph Tiger 800 XCx 2015

Triumph Tiger 800 XCx 2015

The Tiger 800 XCx appears to be just the right size as a universal talent. The engine is definitely the cream of the crop. It is lively, rev-happy, powerful and sounds a little daring. Nevertheless, it is always comfortable and easy to ride. The rest of the bike seems to be on a par.

great engine that is practical in everyday life but also a lot of fun

easy to drive yet never boring

Individual details seem a touch too cheap

BMW R 1250 GS 2023

BMW R 1250 GS 2023

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.
