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.

Future yes - but now?
Hardly ever has a motorcycle polarized as polarised as this Zero. This applies to our test team, but also to our readers. If you don't believe it, you should delve into the comments in our test video. But it is not polarizing because it is good or bad. This can be easily clarified: the Zero is good.
Good to very good even, but this only applies to an electrically driven motorcycle. This is it, with all the advantages and the disadvantages already mentioned. And: it is our future. That is certain.
What everyone has to decide for themselves is whether they will bring the future to their home now.
