BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2021

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2021

The new BMW R nineT Urban GS is not only wonderful to look at, it also convinces all along the line. Both on the road and on loose surfaces, it is surprisingly potent, even if long rides can become an endurance test due to the uncomfortable seat. Thanks to the improved standard equipment, the surcharge no longer has to be so high, even though there are still more than enough options for personalisation with the BMW original accessories. Especially in the 40th anniversary GS paintwork, you are buying an incredibly emotional motorbike that, starting with the engine and ending with the paintwork, is a joy to ride every day!

Characterful engine

improved standard equipment for 2021

neutral handling

high stability on tarmac

surprisingly off-road capable

great looks

enormous choice of accessories.

Turbulence due to headlight fairing

uncomfortable seat

perhaps too classy for tough off-road use

Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 2016

Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 2016

The V9 Roamer (masculine, means wanderer, vagabond) has a legacy to take up in contrast to the V9 Bobber - it replaces the Moto Guzzi Nevada 750. This makes it clear that the Roamer should also work on longer distances. Accordingly, the seating position is cosy, the high handlebars, the pleasant knee angle and the comfortable saddle provide a distinctly feel-good atmosphere. Thanks to its low weight of only 200 kilos, the Roamer also has more agile handling than you would expect from a cruiser. However, the typical V2 engine with its 55 hp is more for cruising than for sport.

Comfortable chassis

comfortable seating position

stable brakes

nice look

the engine could be a little stronger
