Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda X-ADV 2023
Honda dares - and hits the mark. The X-ADV is a sophisticated, practical and amazingly precise crossover two-wheeler. With the G-mode of the dual-clutch transmission DCT, the off-road capability is underlined even more. The X-ADV's true playground, however, is the country road, where it works excellently and presents an ingenious mixture of sportiness and comfort that is otherwise only known from big tourers and scooters. Many people don't know what to do with this "thing", but once you've ridden the X-ADV, you'll realise what it's capable of.
BMW R 1200 R 2009
The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.
