Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2014

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2014

You like a Honda GoldWing - or you don't. For many people, the bulky, 421-kilo ship is simply too heavy. And that's perfectly legitimate, after all, not everyone can handle such a hunk. But once the Gold Wing is in motion, it is surprisingly easy to ride, thanks to the silky six-cylinder boxer engine. The braking system is also extremely reliable and precise. Of course, you can't demand too much sportiness given the limited lean angle, but you hardly have to make any concessions when it comes to the luxury features such as the sound system, navigation system, ventilation, heating and luggage compartment. And the 40th Anniversary Edition also looks very good with its noble paintwork.

BMW S 1000 XR 2024

BMW S 1000 XR 2024

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a supersports bike. It sounds like a compromise - but it rides like a precisely targeted development. The bike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, the integration of the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. Although the suspension adapts well to the load, it is never sensitive or really comfortable. The seating comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a little sharp when touring for long distances. Nevertheless, it's a great bike for sporty riding but also for long distances.

Riding modes change reponsiveness in practice

great revvy four-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

well-balanced vehicle - even with a pillion - thanks to electronic suspension with automatic load condition detection

good brakes

Knee angle a bit tight for tall people when touring long distances

suspension does not dampen sensitively enough - no really comfortable setup possible

high fuel consumption
