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 - what sticks
Motorcycling is fun - this also applies if you are traveling with a Husqvarna Svartpilen 125. Of course, you won't set acceleration records with 15 hp, but due to the adult chassis and the streetfigher-like seating position, you have a lot of fun with the husky on the country road. On the other hand, we prefer to forget the motorway very quickly, but it is simply not fast enough.The test bike was kindly provided by Heller & Soltau from St. Michaelisdonn. There she stands as a demonstrator and waits for a lot of test drivers. Go for it, it's really fun!
