BMW R 1250 RT 2020

The new R 1250 RT really likes the more powerful engine with 11 additional hp, because 279 kilos ready to ride are happy about every extra hp. Even more pleasing, however, are the proud 143 Newton metres - 18 more than on the predecessor. This results in even more smoothness and sovereignty, which are at the top of the list for a tourer. Nevertheless, the thick 12.5-RT can also be ridden in a sporty manner; the pronounced acceleration from below makes it extremely agile, especially when exiting a bend after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro, the gears just slip and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1250 RT are still the good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its relatively small turning circle.

The Italians know exactly how to polish an icon - the V7 Stone also has the characteristic, longitudinally installed V2 engine with the typical sloping cylinders. And with this model in particular, this should appeal not only to true Guzzi fans, but also to all those who are looking for a balanced, uncomplicated motorbike. Although the engine has its typical vibrations, it behaves well, the chassis is more comfortable than sporty, and the seating position is also well suited to the comfortable character. The single-disc brakes at the front even grip surprisingly well and the overall look goes straight to the heart. Only the LCD instruments seem out of place and modern.
