Relaxed Cruiser

If you overlook this, getting around with the BMW is a very enjoyable hobby. Let it be with the hustle and bustle, the appropriate movement of the BMW automatically leads to a flowing driving style, without corners or edges. The faster you drive, the more steering momentum would be needed, so at some point you let it be easy – well.

Compared to the competition, the BMW convinces with its bullish start and the gnarled, authentic nature. She is equal with the consistency of her design as well as the crisp sound and loving details. Although the comfort on long distances may not be the best, you are well dressed with the BMW everywhere.

Although the BMW nineT Scrambler is actually 1,900 euros cheaper than its heritage sister, who would have thought that, you shouldn't do without an extra: The beautiful spoke wheels (395 euros) are excellent. BMW was the last to ride the Scrambler wave for the time being, but with a convincing model.

Was there anything else? Oh yes, the off-road suitability. Oh no, there was nothing – just like the Scrambler models of the competition.

The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Pinneberg.

Conclusion - it continues

Children as time passes. Barely eleven years old and you can sort a motorcycle in good conscience into the non-existent category "Classic Sports Tourer". In the 0-100 km/h test she turned around nicely at the back, modern bikers are no longer used to the absence of a traction control.

Here you still drive yourself beautifully. If you are looking for something like this, you can strike here. The Honda CBF 1000 comes with fresh inspection and also the wear parts are not yet ... Well, yes... Worn. Thanks to the quality, it should bring joy to its new owner for a long time to come.
