Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 XR 2021

BMW F 900 XR 2021

A motorbike in this performance class probably cannot be more accessible. The XR wobbles playfully through the radii and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even long tours are easy and you are always relaxed when getting out of the saddle. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens desires for a little thrill. However, the power unit cannot quite fulfil these desires. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine response

Very easy to ride bike

Cool looks, Great display

Good brakes

Easy handling

Stable ride feel

Great connectivity

High lean angle clearance

Well tuned ABS

Easy to manoeuvre

Hard seat

somewhat doughy gearbox including tough quickshifter

engine could do with more pepper

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is a true touring enduro and has a lot to offer. A comfortable, relaxed riding position, good wind protection, ample equipment and real travel suitability. Unlike the competition in the upper class of adventure bikes, however, it unfortunately lacks that certain "wow factor", that unique selling point that BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada V4 or KTM Super Adventure can boast. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro has no remarkable smoothness, no extremely agile handling or brute engine, but it is well-balanced. However, there is still room for improvement in some areas, especially in the smoothness in the lower rev range. However, the basis is good and well-balanced, and the fine-tuning will hopefully come in the following model years.

Pleasant, relaxed ergonomics

Good wind protection

State-of-the-art electronics

Extensive equipment

Very powerful brakes

Finely responsive, semi-active chassis

Ok range

Quick-shifting quickshifter

Engine does not run quite cleanly below 3000 revs

Large TFT display could be better used

Load change reactions at low revs

Very high for short-legged pilots
