Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 RS 2016

Wunderlich has optimised the already great R 1200 RS with pinpoint accuracy and turned it into a real dream machine. The straight handlebars fit the sports tourer really well. The bike's sporty look is justified. Anyone who tries this Wunderlich machine sets the bar incredibly high for their next motorbike. A real dream bike.

Precise and stable handling

comfortable seating position

great wind protection

with the Wunderlich conversion, a very sporty and sleek look overall.

Knee angle somewhat compact with long legs

Honda VFR 800 F 2014

The concept fits, both performance and comfort are tuned to the mid-range sports tourer. However, it is difficult to make comparisons with the competition - the VFR800F hardly has any. Other sports tourers are stronger, more unwieldy and weigh just as much.

Powerful impression

Optimal handling

Great sound

Pleasant handlebar position

Well-protecting windscreen.
