BMW R nineT Scrambler 2017

BMW R nineT Scrambler 2017

There's really no point in trying to figure out why the R nineT is so popular, the concept is obviously an excellent fit for today. The BMW R nineT Scrambler also works excellently, relying on the same "old" boxer engine with air cooling, which BMW has miraculously made Euro4-compatible without sacrificing performance or character. The chassis is softer, the wheelbase longer and the equipment more spartan - but under the alias Scrambler this is perfectly acceptable, after all the focus is on comfortable riding. The optional one-man saddle is a bit hard, but the R nineT Scrambler is by no means uncomfortable, and the riding position is particularly convincing. So if you can live with less equipment, steel instead of aluminium and simpler suspension elements, you can save a lot of money with the Scrambler - which you can then best invest in customising!

Boxer engine with character - vibrations, power and sound included. Nevertheless Euro4-compliant

comfortable chassis

pleasant seating position

powerful brakes

cool looks

much cheaper than the R nineT.

rather hard saddle

spartan dashboards, in the base without rev counter and gear indicator

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

Powerful, high-torque engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

extensive electronics

affordable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy
