Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW S 1000 XR 2015

A BMW S 1000 XR cumpre muito bem a sua função de máquina de turismo desportiva. Os 160 cv e os 228 quilos prontos a rodar já sugerem uma condução ágil, mas no selim é ainda melhor. Tal como a pesada naked S 1000 R, a XR não pode negar o seu parentesco com a superbike S 1000 R. A isto junta-se uma posição de condução impecavelmente confortável e um guiador largo que faz com que seja um prazer passar por curvas apertadas. A eletrónica inspira confiança sem restrições e os travões podem ser aplicados como se estivessem numa super moto desportiva. Apenas o ruído estridente do escape de quatro cilindros e as vibrações na gama média não se adequam a uma tourer. Caso contrário, a S 1000 XR é completamente convincente.
BMW R 1200 RS 2015

Com a R 1200 RS, a BMW regressou mais uma vez aos valores esperados dos profissionais de turismo de uma forma altamente profissional. A RS não é, portanto, uma moto leve e compacta, mas oferece uma estabilidade maravilhosa, conforto e excelente proteção contra o vento em longas distâncias. No entanto, a desportividade não é negligenciada; o motor boxer extremamente potente é extremamente ágil e o seu som fresco, por si só, deixa o condutor de bom humor. Como é habitual, os bávaros são excelentes a oferecer uma lista atractiva de acessórios, dos quais algumas características desempenham um papel decisivo no bom desempenho: A suspensão ESA não deve faltar para condições de carga que mudam frequentemente (passageiros, bagagem), o assistente de mudanças Pro faz parte do derradeiro prazer de condução e o sistema de condução sem chave aumenta o prestígio e o conforto.
