Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS 2023

BMW F 850 GS 2023

The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.

Good wind and weather protection

well thought-out operating concept

practical equipment

very accessible operation and driveability in everyday use

good seat comfort

great connectivity solution

Vibrations in the upper rev range

boring engine

stiff quickshifter gearstick

front damping too lax

fork not adjustable

ponderous feel

front brake could do with more bite.

Yamaha Tenere 700 2024

Yamaha Tenere 700 2024

The Tenere 700 now has competition and, due to the simultaneous price increase, is no longer the big sensation it was a few years ago. But as soon as the bike turns off-road, you are simply thrilled in the saddle. The bike is tough and masters even demanding passages very reliably. A really good adventure motorbike. However, if you pretend to be an adventurer and only ride on tarmac, you could make your life easier with a different bike.

very robust and reliable appearance

sporty and sleek appearance

playful riding performance

amazingly sporty and fun engine

good workmanship

good suspension with a practical adjustment range

Relatively low weight compared to other touring enduros

very tough

ABS disengageable

Not very comfortable on longer tours

Brakes feel a little lax on tarmac

Very short equipment list in terms of electronics

Load changes at low revs

the operating concept with the fiddly wheel was not well received during the test

Clutch modulation not on a par with the competition in practice
