Indian 101 Scout 2024

Indian 101 Scout 2024

The Indian Scout 101 is without doubt a great bike that offers impressive power, excellent handling for its class and modern technology in an attractive overall package. However, with a price of over 21,000 euros in Austria and 19,000 euros in Germany, it is no bargain either. Those who can do without the full equipment with fully adjustable suspension and double disc brakes can fall back on the cheaper models. The Scout 101 is a bike that not only looks good, but is also a real pleasure to ride. A real highlight in the cruiser segment that makes you want to pull on your helmet and ask yourself: "Why didn't I ride a Scout before?"

BMW R 12 S 2025

BMW R 12 S 2025

With the R 12 S, BMW has succeeded in creating a desirable top-of-the-range model in the R 12 Inline. A feel-good engine paired with high-quality components and magnificent looks conjure up a grin under the helmet. The special paintwork takes you back to the time of the first fairing-covered BMW bike, the legendary R 90 S. In terms of driving dynamics, the BMW is absolutely in tune with the times thanks to various features. Anyone who interprets the S as an indication of exceptional sportiness may be disappointed by the lack of maximum lean angle. Everyone else will be really happy with the R 12 S feast for the eyes, provided their wallet is sufficiently bulging.
