Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2015
A GS is at home almost anywhere - but only to a limited extent on the racetrack. It's a pleasure to feel the power of the partially water-cooled boxer twin cylinder on the exit of the bend - 125 hp only seems much weaker on paper than 150 or even 160 hp on the competition. With 125 Newton metres of torque, the acceleration from the bottom is superb anyway and the GS, at 238 kilos ready to ride, does not carry too much flab despite its bulky appearance. In very tight corners, the low centre of gravity also has a positive effect - the BMW R 1200 GS is very hard to crack! Even the front telelever suspension, which suppresses the front wheel's tendency to sink in when braking, fits perfectly into the overall package on the GS and can only slightly detract from its sporty character.
Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021
Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro är en mycket bra touringcykel, så länge du inte har bråttom. Den har gott om utrustning, alla tänkbara elektroniska finesser, extremt trevlig ergonomi och en välbalanserad, lättskött trecylindrig motor. Samtidigt är den inriktad på komfort över hela linjen. Andra är bättre på att rasa runt hörnen, men den brittiska damen föredrar att kryssa på ett avslappnat sätt. Varför överanvända det mjuka chassit när du istället kan njuta av det övre vindskyddet och andas in landskapet omkring dig.
