Conclusion - what sticks
The Tiger Sport 660 is indeed a motorcycle for all occasions. Whether to work, in the city, to swing curves on the country road or on trips - she can do everything. Thanks to the good-natured driving behavior, it is also suitable for novice drivers and does not overwhelm anyone.The competitors have less power and are all two-cylinder. So if you're into triples, you can't get past the Triumph in this class anyway, but apart from that, the Tiger is in a good position compared to the competition.
Anyone who has now tasted blood and would like to take a test drive should go to Triumph Hamburg as soon as possible. There the little kitten is ready for a test drive and will welcome you with a heartbreaking hiss.
Conclusion - a bike without major weaknesses
And now, is the BMW a purchase recommendation? Yes, it is. It is not suitable for beginners, smaller people and experienced pilots. Its long-distance comfort (with a larger windshield) is excellent, it is also sufficiently bubbly.
The 2,500 Euro price difference to the BMW F 850 GS should actually strengthen any purchase recommendation. Here, however, they are precisely enough not to condemn price policy completely. If you can and want to afford it, you get an almost universally applicable bike with very good workmanship.
