Conclusion - what gets stuck
Wonderful, this BMW R1200 R. Not only beautiful, fast and safe, but also potent enough for an Alpine tour. Of course, this requires a suitcase system, which goes quite well into the money at BMW. And just a touring disc, which is to be used in the secondary market (e.B. MRA) for about 150 euros. In the mountains you should ride the other bikers quite nicely around the ears, because the 1200s brings everything you need: strength, agility, agility and above all the feeling of security that you can't really do much with this bike.It's a cruiser
Last but not least, You can believe Yamaha 100 percent – in the off-road it can do almost nothing better than normal bikes. The tyres (Bridgestone TW 101 in front and TW 152 in the rear) are already facing greater ambitions.
What remains: The Yamaha SCR 950 is a Scrambler-style cruiser. That's not a bad thing, but most of the extra goes into optics – and it must be worth it.
