MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 2015
Assuming that the Turismo Veloce 800 is MV Agusta's first strike in the touring motorbike sector, it can certainly be considered extremely successful. The design alone is already ravishing, but the riding performance goes one better. Above all, the engine and handling play at an extremely high level, which on the one hand does not ignore the necessary touring comfort, but on the other hand also takes MV Agusta's sporting tradition into account. All in all, the whole package is just tremendous fun - both in the tighter tangle of bends and on wider tracks. The only real weak point is the high price, but this also preserves a certain exclusivity. Anyone who has cleared this hurdle at the cash desk will be rewarded with a universally usable motorbike that is always fun and enjoyable everywhere - in front of the ice cream parlour as well as on winding mountain passes.
BMW R 1250 RT 2019
The new R 1250 RT really likes the more powerful engine with 11 additional hp, because 279 kilos ready to ride are happy about every extra hp. Even more pleasing, however, are the proud 143 Newton metres - 18 more than on the predecessor. This results in even more smoothness and sovereignty, which are at the top of the list for a tourer. Nevertheless, the thick 12.5-RT can also be ridden in a sporty manner; the pronounced acceleration from below makes it extremely agile, especially when exiting a bend after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro, the gears just slip and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1250 RT are still the good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its relatively small turning circle.
