BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2022

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2022

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

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE 2023

It's amazing how much an unagitated, practical all-round motorbike like the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE can drive into your heart. Probably it is precisely because of this clever design with manageable electronic features that can be optimally adjusted to personal needs. Thanks to the excellent ride-by-wire system, the engine seems more powerful in the lower range than the displacement would suggest and does everything right both on and off-road. With 220 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, the chassis is really well tuned for off-road, but clearly also offers an advantage for road riders on bad roads. The ergonomics are good, but tall riders should consider the higher, optional seat because of the somewhat acute knee angle.

Powerful engine from below

fully adjustable chassis

manageable, clever electronic features

quickshifter up/down standard

dynamic design in cool colours.

acute knee angle for riders with long legs

footrests drag early

windshield only adjustable with tools

heavier than many competitors
