Design pros & cons for all-season riding, identical models 2006 - 20013 BMWF800ST
COMMUTER REVIEW TEST PARAMETERS:
In commuting the following maneuvers are performed regularly:
- U-turns at walking pace
- pushing, parking, reversing the bike
- 1st gear full acceleration for merging
- 1st-2nd gear lane changes, avoidance path maneuvers
- shoulder checks, mirror checks throughout the entire rpm range
Bike is further evaluated to assess its:
- possible interaction with corrosive road salting in winter
- weather protection for winter riding
- rider ergonomics, vibration, noise, visibility and ease of operation of controls
- carrying capability (e.g. a lunchbox)
- ease of access for maintenance items (chain/belt, oil, brakes)
That`s how a bike is ridden, that`s how it`s assessed. The above list excludes wheelies, circus stunts, riding at speeds over speed limits, aggressive lean angle cornering.
If a bike does not fit the description, so be it. If a model does not work out for commuter purpose, I`ll say so. My findings on how a bike performs are posted, irrelevant to manufacturer`s gift-wrapped sales pitch. I`m not a motorcycle journalist, I`m not paid to say nice things, kind things or things that increase sales. I just post what I find out. Facts.
Thanks for watching.
