BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2012

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2012

You don't feel uncomfortable off-road with the GS, but it shouldn't be quite so rough for it either. The BMW scores the most points with its perfect ergonomics, superb brakes, tight chassis and unique boxer handling, complete with a deep, rasping soundtrack.

Successful wind protection

extremely comfortable ergonomics

optimal saddle

precise chassis

sharp sound.

Transmission could be smoother

engine power rather low.

BMW F 800 GS 2009

BMW F 800 GS 2009

Fully equipped with special equipment from Touratech, the BMW looked very imposing and gave the impression of a real, masculine adventurer's motorbike. Headlight grille, engine guard, grippy, wider footrests, and much more hopefully deceived many eyewitnesses about the same-sex partnership on the breathable comfort seat.

Fully equipped with optional extras

imposing impression

good workmanship

pleasant chassis.
