BMW R 1200 RS 2015

BMW R 1200 RS 2015

With the R 1200 RS, BMW has once again returned to the values expected of touring professionals in a highly professional manner. The RS is therefore not a light, compact motorbike, but it offers wonderful stability, comfort and excellent wind protection over long distances. Nevertheless, sportiness is not neglected; the enormously powerful boxer engine is extremely agile and its cool sound alone puts the rider in a good mood. As usual, the Bavarians are excellent at offering an attractive list of accessories, from which some features play a decisive role in the good performance: The ESA suspension should not be missing for frequently changing load conditions (passenger, luggage), the shift assistant Pro is part of the ultimate driving pleasure and the keyless keyless ride system increases prestige and comfort.

Agile, high-revving boxer engine

cool, muffled sound

good, adjustable windshield

comfortable seating position suitable for touring

stable chassis

ABS and traction control standard

selectable riding modes

front-end look in the style of the S 1000 RR superbike

extensive list of accessories.

many features at extra cost

Honda NT1100 DCT 2022

Honda NT1100 DCT 2022

The NT1100 has the potential to be a big hit in the travel segment. Honda has done its homework brilliantly in many areas. The final consistency on the subject of safety features prevents an even better rating of the tourer. Nevertheless, it is one of the best touring motorbikes I have ever ridden. A little courage for additional equipment variants and more colour could bring the NT 2023 right to the front.

Extensive standard equipment

perfect wind and weather protection

great engine

suitable for long distances

comfortable

Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration

suspension set-up coherent

No IMU

dull colour variants

no option for e-chassis
