BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2017

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2017

As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.

terrific, authentic G/S look

powerful brakes, powerful engine

Enduro-typical reduced to the bare essentials

custom bike ex works

Wire-spoke rims not standard

ASC not standard

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 offers a very coherent overall package in the retro segment. A relaxed seating position, lots of chrome and the cultivated two-cylinder make it a pretty object of desire that also stands up to everyday use. You won't find any modern features, but with an output of 47 hp, traction control and riding modes would be superfluous anyway. If you long for decelerated, relaxed cruising and purist motorcycling, you will definitely be happy with the Interceptor 650.

Refined engine Relaxed seating position Good brakes Classic round instruments Authentic retro look

Chassis does not withstand sporty driving style
