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.Digital motorcycling
Many of these sensations are eliminated by the digital form of motorcycling. The Zero is simply fast, sour fast. A spin on the throttle lever is enough, nothing more. If you like this, or for whom this immediate implementation is the attraction, the Zero is a clear purchase recommendation for you.
The question of each test is to find out whether the test object is good or bad. The Zero SR/F is not only a good motorcycle, but a very good motorcycle, under the restrictions of all batterielectric vehicles (expensive, short range). The Zero is a great motorcycle overall and in the sum of its high-quality components. However, one that digitally decouples the driver with what she does best – merciless passage without end.
And I've come to realize that so far, I've assumed that my definition of driving pleasure is largely about engine power – now I know that the way this performance is created is important to me.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg.
