BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2026

BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2026

The BMW R 1300 GS Adventure remains an impressive adventure bike, offering a powerful engine, a high level of comfort and superb dynamics. It stands out thanks to its agile handling, high-quality Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and first-class ergonomics. Despite its polarising design, it is the obvious choice for experienced riders who value comfort and performance on long touring trips.

Suzuki Hayabusa 2026

Suzuki Hayabusa 2026

The Hayabusa is an absolute legend, the first production motorbike to run at over 300 km/h cannot be dismissed as a minor matter. With the new Busa, however, Suzuki has recognised the signs of the times. The current model, with its extensive electronic equipment including cruise control as standard, is an excellent hyper-tourer. The ergonomics are still sport-oriented, but the rider sits well integrated in the machine and thus also enjoys good wind protection. The brakes are stable, the handling is fine and the chassis is wonderfully stable and mature. The icing on the cake is, of course, the huge 1340 cubic in-line four-cylinder engine, which impresses with its 190 hp alone. Even better, however, is the maximum torque of 150 Newton metres, which is felt to be available from idle speed. In terms of sovereignty, this engine is hard to beat!

Wonderful engine, hard to beat in terms of sovereignty

front-wheel-oriented but still comfortable seating position

cornering ABS

lean angle-dependent traction control

full electronics package

cruise control as standard

stable brakes

mature chassis

No bargain
