Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 XR 2024
The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a supersports bike. It sounds like a compromise - but it rides like a precisely targeted development. The bike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, the integration of the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. Although the suspension adapts well to the load, it is never sensitive or really comfortable. The seating comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a little sharp when touring for long distances. Nevertheless, it's a great bike for sporty riding but also for long distances.
Honda CB1000GT 2026
Honda's attempt to derive a sporty touring bike from a Hornet has been a success for the Japanese. With a high level of comfort and impressive standard equipment, the new GT also scores highly in terms of sportiness. The 229kg is hardly noticeable when rider or stationary, giving a very lively impression. The look is also impressive thanks to the successful lines and skilful design and colour scheme. However, the most convincing aspect is probably the price-performance ratio. At €17,490 in Austria and €14,429 in Germany, Honda has really dropped the ball on the price. If you also consider the extensive standard equipment (electronic suspension, cruise control, heated grips, keyless go, case system,...), the Japanese have even cut the braces. However, anyone who wants to put the GT in their garage will need a little patience: the first vehicles are not expected to be delivered before the second quarter. But there is one small consolation in this respect: anticipation is the greatest joy!
