Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2020
The current Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing Tour becomes much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, an excellent chassis. The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) is a perfect match for the Gold Wing Tour, especially the automated Tour and Econ stages enrich the comfort immensely. The Sport mode is perhaps a little too sporty, but there is still no lack of comfort. The seat comfort and the wind protection are unique, the many features are simply wonderful - more is really not possible.
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2023
The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
