BMW F 900 XR 2020

BMW F 900 XR 2020

The new BMW F 900 XR proves that it now needs no more than the middle class. With 105 hp, you are never underpowered in any situation and the two-cylinder offers enough elasticity to be both relaxed and very sporty on the road. Its solid quality and proven high-volume technology of the F 850 series make it a perfect companion if you want to be sporty on the road with a high level of comfort. As a basis, the equipment is sufficient, but the BMW accessories programme gives enough options to put together your dream motorbike (recommendation: Gearshift Assistant Pro!).

Resilient and powerful engine

Variable ergonomics

Sufficient wind protection

Great Brembo brakes

Stylish looks

Wide range of accessories

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022

KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2022

Even one year after its presentation, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is anything but old hat. The Euro5 engine continues to shine incredibly with its 160 hp and the argen torque of 138 Newton metres. The refined electronics ensure an even smoother ride, which, thanks to the wonderfully agile handling, results in a lot of fun when cornering. But the new SASi also has a lot to offer comfort freaks and all those who value the touring qualities of this type of motorbike. A nice, standard feature is the adaptive cruise control ACC, which independently keeps the distance to the vehicle in front - and works really well. In any case, the Quickshifter+ or the all-inclusive TechPack is recommended - given the basic price, the extra charge of around 1,000 euros is of little consequence anyway.
