Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2021
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2016
You like a Honda GoldWing - or you don't. For many people, the bulky, 421-kilo ship is simply too heavy. And that's perfectly legitimate, after all, not everyone can handle such a hunk. But once the Gold Wing is in motion, it is surprisingly easy to ride, thanks to the silky six-cylinder boxer engine. The braking system is also extremely reliable and precise. Of course, you can't demand too much sportiness given the limited lean angle, but you hardly have to make any concessions when it comes to the luxury features such as the sound system, navigation system, ventilation, heating and luggage compartment. And the 40th Anniversary Edition also looks very good with its noble paintwork.
