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.

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

Honda NC750X DCT 2025

The Honda NC750X retains its talents in terms of suitability for everyday use, practical details, accessibility and low fuel consumption even in the 2025 model year. The unique DCT dual-clutch transmission is even better because it is more harmoniously setup. A new aspect is now sportiness, which the engine and transmission unit and the agile handling with a low centre of gravity already made possible before, but is now taken to a new level thanks to the new, more stable double disc brakes at the front. Due to its distinct touring suitability, it is not surprising that the NC750X sells so well despite, or probably even because of, its 13-year existence. If you can afford it, you should definitely invest in the DCT dual clutch - this is what makes the NC750X truly unique!

Very nimble

affordable

low fuel consumption

top handling thanks to low centre of gravity

23 litres of storage space instead of the tank

dual-clutch transmission DCT

adjustable riding modes

good brakes

Windscreen not adjustable
