BMW S 1000 XR 2021

BMW S 1000 XR 2021

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a super sports bike. Sounds like a compromise - but rides like a spot-on development. The motorbike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, integration from the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive, and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. The chassis adapts well to the load condition, but it never becomes sensitive and really comfortable. The seat comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a bit acute on long tours. Nevertheless, this is a great motorbike that you like to ride sportily, but also very far.

Riding modes change response behaviour suitable for practical use

great rev-happy four-cylinder engine with a broad usable rev band

well-balanced vehicle - also with pillion passenger - thanks to electronic chassis with automatic recognition of load condition

good brakes

Knee angle on long tours a bit narrow for tall people

suspension damping not sensitive enough - no really comfortable setup possible

consumption high

Yamaha MT-07 2020

Yamaha MT-07 2020

The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the chassis makes the understandable compromise between comfort and sport - reminding us that the affordable MT-07 should also have a lot to offer beginners. Only the design with halogen headlights and conventional forks is rather old-fashioned.

High-torque two-cylinder

well-done chassis set-up

easy to ride

pleasant seating position

large selection of accessories

price-performance ratio is right

Optics and fittings already look grey

controls on the handlebars a little cheap
