Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 RT 2009
The S-class among motorbikes. You want to tour and travel in a relaxed manner, ideally with company, sufficient luggage stowed in the sophisticated, easy-to-use pannier systems. There are not many motorbikes on which women like to ride in the back, but the RT is one of them.
Yamaha V-MAX 2016
The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.
