BMW F 850 GS 2018

You might not see it at first glance on the new BMW F 850 GS, but it really is a completely new design. Both the steel chassis and the drivetrain have been changed, the engine enlarged to 853 cubic capacity and designed to be even more powerful with the 90-degree crankpin offset. As a result, the new F 850 GS presents itself more sovereign than excited and is convincing both on the road and off-road. The very special thing about the BMW is the ability to tailor it exactly to your personal needs thanks to the extensive range of accessories - there is actually no feature currently available that you can't get on your F 850 GS. However, this also drives up the price.

Aprilia's Dorsoduro 900 is a familiar candidate in the supermoto segment. Power and handling are not at the top of the field, but they are perfectly sufficient to make it a real fun bike for the country road. Moreover, the Dorsoduro is considered a comparatively rare motorbike, which is why you certainly won't get lost in the crowd at the motorbike meeting. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is our recommendation for all those who want supermoto looks but also want to ride longer tours in a relaxed manner.
