BMW S 1000 XR 2017

BMW S 1000 XR 2017

The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.

Power increase

KTM 1190 Adventure 2016

KTM 1190 Adventure 2016

The KTM 1190 Adventure is an absolute all-rounder, there is no demand that it does not fulfil: It combines sport, touring, mountain passes and off-road riding. With hardly any other "all-rounder" motorbike is it so fast - even on the racetrack the 1190 Adventure cuts a fine figure with its 150 hp. An unbeatable climber, especially on narrow mountain roads, but also a pleasant companion on the daily ride to work. Also included is a comprehensive electronics package with adjustable power modes, traction control and even a lean angle ABS is on board.

Combines sport with comfort

buttery smooth gearbox

powerful and well controllable engine

excellent seating position

handy chassis

sophisticated electronics

lean angle ABS

Engine jerks a little below 3000 revs

unlike its predecessor, it no longer looks quite so independent

smooth gliding is not its strong point
