BMW R nineT 2017
What more can be said about the BMW R nineT? Since its release in 2014, it has been a real perennial favourite in the customising scene and also at BMW itself. Its ingredients, however, are of very high quality and explain why the result is so coherent. The boxer engine, full of character, is a real joy every time you pull the throttle and, thanks to the wonderful sound, it never gets boring in the long run. Despite the relatively high weight, the BMW is pleasant to ride thanks to the high-quality chassis and finds a balanced mixture between cruiser and sporty naked bike. The look is of course a matter of taste, but the sales figures suggest that BMW must have done something right. And even if you don't like the standard look, accessories are a dime a dozen.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 2021
All in all, the long-distance capable KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is made for a trip for two, whereby the rider hardly ever has to think about where it is going. It likes motorway sections, fast country road passages or winding mountain passes in the tightest of corners just as much as unpaved roads with the occasional rough gravel section, where it is primarily the rider or their routine that decides how far they can go. The handling, which is improved compared to the predecessor due to the lower tank (and thus centre of gravity), also scores points here. The electronic chassis copes perfectly with the changing surfaces of a journey and always conveys transparency, the engine sovereignty in every situation.
