BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2019

BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2019

The all-purpose weapon from Bavaria that can also handle ambitious off-road rides with ease. Thanks to an extra 2 centimetres of suspension travel and 10 litres more fuel in the tank, no tour is too far and no challenge too great. The comparatively low centre of gravity helps with handling and the more powerful engine brings it much closer to the normal R 1250 GS in terms of riding dynamics. In the new 1250 model generation, it offers not only the revised engine, which brings even better rideability, but also a plus in standard equipment and safety. The fiercest competitor for the Adventure is nevertheless lurking in its own house, because even the conventional, less expensive GS is already a fine all-rounder.

Great ride comfort

extreme range

good ergonomics

excellent weather protection

bulbous torque

CFMOTO 800MT Touring 2023

CFMOTO 800MT Touring 2023

The CFMOTO 800MT Touring is a relaxed, road-oriented touring enduro with a sensational amount of equipment for its price class. In riding mode, it scores points with the lively 790cc two-cylinder from the KTM 790 models and a fully adjustable chassis. On tour, you'll be pleased with the standard heated seats, heated grips, cruise control and quickshifter. It comes pretty close to the established players in the touring enduro sector, but has a few idiosyncrasies here and there, such as the cruise control that can only maintain speed up to 120 km/h. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike with a top price-performance ratio.

Very much equipment for the price class (main stand, cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, connectivity, TFT display, quickshifter, riding modes, crash bars, etc.)

Lively, lively engine

Fully adjustable chassis

Relaxed ergonomics
