Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2014
Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.
BMW R nineT Scrambler 2016
There's really no point in trying to figure out why the R nineT is so popular, the concept obviously fits in excellently with today's times. Whether this modern retro style will also work one price class down with the BMW R nineT Scrambler remains to be seen. But the prerequisite is very good, the Scrambler relies on the same, "old" boxer engine with air cooling, which BMW miraculously made suitable for Euro4 without sacrificing performance and character. The chassis is softer, the wheelbase longer and the equipment more spartan - but under the alias Scrambler this is perfectly acceptable, after all the focus is on comfortable riding. The optional one-man saddle is a bit hard, but the R nineT Scrambler is by no means uncomfortable, and the riding position is particularly convincing. So if you can live with less equipment, steel instead of aluminium and simpler suspension elements, you can save a lot of money with the Scrambler - which is best invested in individual customising!
