If you're a bit indecisive when buying a motorbike, and would prefer to have an egg-laying pillow, the 1200 is the best choice. In addition, the 1200 is the only true GS, namely the GS with a boxer engine and cardan drive.

Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
