Honda X-ADV 2020

Honda X-ADV 2020

Honda has done it again. The new X-ADV continues to present itself as a versatile work tool that attracts a lot of attention. Improvements have been made in the right places to make it more accessible, more practical, but also more refined. While its extravagant concept will always attract sceptics, proud owners swear by it and can enjoy thousands of kilometres in the saddle.

Real all-rounder

Improved drivetrain

More powerful sound

More accessible than predecessor

High level of comfort

Sublime feeling in the saddle

Running boards a little too narrow

chain drive for scooter/adventure operation requires high maintenance

extroverted appearance not for everyone

BMW R 1200 GS 2018

BMW R 1200 GS 2018

For over 35 years, BMW has continued to expand the boxer range and is consistently working on the evolution of the GS. In addition to the EURO4 update of the engine with new catalytic converter and mapping, there are now even more features such as the Dynamic ESA Next Generation with automatic riding position compensation, which further improves stability and comfort for the rider. With its subtle colour scheme, the Exclusive version is intended for friends of a neat and subdued appearance and, unlike the flashier Rallye variant, is designed more for the road. Many features are at extra cost, but GS customers usually don't care - 90 percent are ordered with full equipment.
