It was a kind of carnival in Vantaa today! Motorcycle store Allright had their “Hemmopäivät” again and there were some tents with nice special prices, lots of good stuff for-sale with very low prices… and ofcourse parking area full of bikes to take a test ride. Kawasaki, Triumph and BMW (With 1 Aprilia) and I chose mainly BMW bikes to have a quick test.
BMW K1600GT is heavy. It’s still very easy to ride if you just get it on the roll… And becouse it’s heavy it doesn’t feel too powerful either. This was the biggest disappointment!
Triumph Tiger 800XcX is very light, nice and easy to ride, nice torque and powerline in the engine. I would rather choose this than 800GS!
BMW S1000RR is smooth, easy and so damn light! Until the RPM meter reaches 8000… after that it’s all about crazyness and speed!! If I would be 15 years younger I would have this for sure!! And I would probably already be dead…
BMW R1200RS was the best ride of today. Extremely good riding position, powerful engine, so much electronics to make the ride easier and so many ways to use the bike! This would be the best bike for me from these 4…

Minä harvoin välitän uusista pyöristä, mutta jos rahaa olisi, niin punainen R1200R eli ilman katteita olisi kyllä harkinnassa.
Sen koeajoin aikaisemmin keväällä. Moottorihan on sama kuin tossa RS:ssä ja se on kyllä upea moottori! R1200R on oletuksena matalammalla satulalla ja ajoasento oli tämmöiselle 187 senttiselle aivan liian ahdas! Mutta se ei todellakaan olisi huono valinta!
