Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 XR 2017

BMW S 1000 XR 2017

The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

The Honda NC750X retains its talents in terms of suitability for everyday use, practical details, accessibility and low fuel consumption even in the 2025 model year. The unique DCT dual-clutch transmission is even better because it is more harmoniously setup. A new aspect is now sportiness, which the engine and transmission unit and the agile handling with a low centre of gravity already made possible before, but is now taken to a new level thanks to the new, more stable double disc brakes at the front. Due to its distinct touring suitability, it is not surprising that the NC750X sells so well despite, or probably even because of, its 13-year existence. If you can afford it, you should definitely invest in the DCT dual clutch - this is what makes the NC750X truly unique!

Very nimble

affordable

low fuel consumption

top handling thanks to low centre of gravity
