Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 GS Adventure 2026

The small Adventure looks really big even next to an R 1300 GS. The bike offers a high level of riding comfort combined with accessible handling. However, due to the huge tank and the ponderous front end, it loses a significant advantage of the F 900 GS - it is not a lighter-footed alternative to a large Adventure.

Practical features

high range

pleasantly controllable engine

great electronics package

great riding comfort

pleasant ergonomics

easy handling

Off-road and when manoeuvring, the bike feels tiring and heavy

the bike looks cumbersome and clumsy

Honda XL750 Transalp 2026

The bottom line is that even after the successful model update, the XL750 is a Transalp as a Transalp should be, which has always been regarded as a smooth-running, comfortable all-rounder. The combination of proven technology, improved comfort features and modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems makes the bike an attractive companion for adventure-seekers and everyday riders alike. Whether for the daily commute through the urban jungle to work, on a brisk after-work ride or on a long journey, which can of course also take you on unpaved roads.

accessible, yet fun engine with lots of power

improved suspension

well suited for smaller riders, but at the same time roomy enough for taller riders

great workmanship

precise transmission, top quickshifter (optional)

good price-performance ratio

low weight

No cruise control, not even as an accessory
