Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R nineT 2015

BMW R nineT 2015

Strategically perfectly implemented, accompanied by great marketing, it then does exactly what it is supposed to do on the road: It rides right into the heart. A cool motorbike with little frippery that rides great. Due to the somewhat rough engine and the cafe racer seating position, it is not easy to ride for the first few metres. But once you've settled into the saddle of the nineT, you won't want to change it.

Simple and earthy motorbike with a modern overall package

Hearty sound

Even "non-motorcyclists" recognise the special flair of the bike in front of the café

Not just for posing: Thanks to the high-quality chassis, it's also great to ride.

High price

Long waiting time when buying (will improve in the course of 2015)

Touring length is somewhat limited by lack of wind protection

BMW R 12 2024

BMW R 12 2024

Powerful boxer engine

Lots of charisma but still smooth throttle response

Comfortable but low seating position

Agile handling despite cruiser design

Excellent brakes

Good lean angle-dependent traction control

High-quality cornering ABS

Comfortable riding on long lengths

Great features available

Classic design with a modern touch

Stable road holding

Good feedback even on slippery surfaces

Uncomfortable suspension on poor roads

Footrests quickly touch the ground when riding sporty

Relatively high clutch effort

Little travel limits universal character somewhat
