Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R nineT 2015

Strategically perfectly implemented, accompanied by great marketing, it then does exactly what it is supposed to do on the road: It rides right into the heart. A cool motorbike with little frippery that rides great. Due to the somewhat rough engine and the cafe racer seating position, it is not easy to ride for the first few metres. But once you've settled into the saddle of the nineT, you won't want to change it.

Simple and earthy motorbike with a modern overall package

Hearty sound

Even "non-motorcyclists" recognise the special flair of the bike in front of the café

Not just for posing: Thanks to the high-quality chassis, it's also great to ride.

High price

Long waiting time when buying (will improve in the course of 2015)

Touring length is somewhat limited by lack of wind protection

Husqvarna Nuda 900 2012

Even after more than 10 years since its launch, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 continues to inspire as the ultimate fun bike. Its greatest strengths are its emotional, powerful yet precisely controllable engine, the dreamlike sound it produces and its agile handling. As a sporty naked bike, it does not focus much on comfort and its long travel and high seat can cause problems for people with short legs. The biggest challenges, however, are firstly its rarity when buying and then the lack of a manufacturer who feels responsible for spare parts and service.

Erotic design

Highly developed engine

High power

Smooth engine

Low fuel consumption

Versatile vehicle geometry

Agile steering behaviour

Divine sound

Stable price

High seat height

Rare on the used market, therefore quite expensive

Difficult to find spare parts due to lack of support from BMW or KTM
