Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 RT 2009

The S-class among motorbikes. You want to tour and travel in a relaxed manner, ideally with company, sufficient luggage stowed in the sophisticated, easy-to-use pannier systems. There are not many motorbikes on which women like to ride in the back, but the RT is one of them.

Luxurious

integrated electronics

efficient windshield

comfortable ride

spacious pannier system

quite heavy at 300kg

proud price

Harley-Davidson Street 750 2017

With the Street, Harley undercuts itself and perhaps becomes too cheap, not to use the bad word "cheap" again. It is rather fashionable, looks young, but less valuable and durable; rides well, but is not convincing in terms of workmanship.

Good chassis

strong engine.

Not too harsh sound

brakes not too optimal

lean angle clearance limited

shoddy workmanship.
