BMW R 1300 GS 2024
BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% perfected in some areas, as several recalls as well as vulnerable components show.
Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness
Very stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly
Handguards offer good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
Comprehensible operating concept
wide range of ergonomics customisation options
Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system
Very good balance with different load conditions
Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected
Suspension works at a good level - however, a truly flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday use
The bike looks a little too compact for an adventure bike when ridden by tall riders, especially from the rear
ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding
Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches on raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots
Handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road use
Mirrors with integrated blind spot warning system and exposed wiring unsuitable for off-road use
Seat comfort for rider and passenger only mediocre on long lengths - seat bench is too soft!
The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances for two
Despite the high price level of the GS, the quality of some components, such as the plastic gear lever, leaves a lot to be desired
Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2023
Triumph har skapat en otroligt bra allroundmotorcykel med nya Speed Triple 1200 RS. Motorn kan köras mycket bekvämt på låga varvtal. Fordonet är mycket tillgängligt när det behövs och inger förtroende. Men den som sätter fart på den kompakta motorcykeln får uppleva grym acceleration och hårda inbromsningar. Chassit är överlag ganska tajt - som ett resultat förlorar det lite av sin tillgänglighet.
Otroligt universell - lätt att köra i stadstrafik men också supersnabb när det behövs
varvvillig och kraftfull motor
kan köras tyst när det behövs
stabila köregenskaper även i snabba kurvor
Lastväxlingsreaktioner vid låga hastigheter
smal knävinkel för långa personer
traction control för defensiv även i track mode
