CFMOTO 650 GT 2021
How much luxury do you actually need on a modern touring bike? Well, if CF-Moto has its way, not too much, but still a good motorbike for touring. The seating position on the 650 GT is ergonomically successful, so it can also please on long distances, and the comparatively weak engine at least revs up agilely, so you don't really lack power either. Only two riding modes (which do not differ too much from each other), conventional ABS and a continuously variable windshield that can be adjusted in height without tools have to suffice as "comfort features" - and actually they do. Only the chassis has to put up with criticism; in curves it sways more than the sporty rest of the machine deserves.
Yamaha V-MAX 2016
The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.
