Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS 2021

BMW F 850 GS 2021

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 CRF300 Rally 2021

Honda CRF300 Rally 2021

As a classic dual-sport bike, which unfortunately is all too rare these days, the lightweight Honda works very well both on and especially off the paved roads. In contrast to its predecessor, the CRF250 Rally, it has gained about 10 percent in power, but another 10 to 15 hp would be good for it. However, because the lower gears are now shorter, you can feel the increase in power, and the longer sixth gear allows for more relaxed cruising at higher speeds.

Real off-road capability

ample suspension travel and ground clearance

low weight

agility

Low power
