Criticism

" Overall, the BMW is a great bike, but is nonetheless not mass produced as it was the F 650 GS once. For the target group is simply too small for this bike. BMW newcomers will have a problem with the price, loyal BMW customers a problem with the sporty character with too little comfort in the saddle. "

" The Xcountry marks the paragons of Roadster: for everyday use, even slightly off-road capable and very straightforward to deal with. The single cylinder convinces with smooth running, good manners, torque and revving at low fuel consumption. "
