One has spent 4 hours ragging this thing whilst £ notes evaporate in the BMW workshop. It's good fun on twisty B roads but unsurprisingly, rather asthmatic on A roads. Very noisy wind blast at 80mph and plain horrible at 100mph on the private test track. Seat uncomfy after first hour. It really does not like going into corners hard on the brakes but make use of the excellent engine braking and keep it smooth and it handles very nicely. The Michelin road 5 tyres inspire confidence. The suspension seemed to handle bumps quite well. The upright riding position was making my back ache after 2 hours. I won't be buying one.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #3Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #2 Depends on the year ... my Tracer is pretty good looking to my eyes. The 2021 model has issues with aesthetics ... Other than that the VStrom is the only other ugly one to me.
