BMW R 1250 GS 2020

BMW R 1250 GS 2020

The BMW R 1250 GS also presents itself as a very complete bike in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it impresses on intensive rides. The bike scores points with its superb engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in a direct comparison with other top-of-the-range touring enduros, it shows its first weaknesses in terms of features and components. In direct comparison, however, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely high-torque boxer engine

comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

great app integration

sophisticated operating concept

great ergonomics

many customisation options

great handling with strong confidence in the front

easy to ride

Shifting at low revs is choppy

seat too slack

brakes and suspension no longer at the level of the strong competition
