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.
Result
Boy, boy, what a board! The new Street Triple 765 R delivers what it promises. Many small updates turn the already very good naked bike into a damn good naked bike. The Streety drives famos and precisely, the engine is addictive and the technical equipment is now almost at the level of the Speed Triple. The price for the R is more than okay and if you like it even more noble, you can go for the RS - you can't go wrong with both bikes.We kindly received the test bike from the Triumph flagship store in Hamburg . If you would like to take a test drive, you are cordially invited there. In addition to the R, Q-Bike also has a demonstrator of the RS on site - so you can compare both bikes directly. Have fun and greetings from us...
