BMW F 800 GS Adventure 2018

The big R 1200 GS Adventure may have been the ultimate long-distance adventure bike up to now, but anyone who also values a bit of fun and sport is certainly better served by the F 800 GS Adventure.

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2023

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2023

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro comes with a powerful in-line three-cylinder engine and plenty of features. The all-round carefree package on two wheels is easy to control, but clearly favours a more leisurely pace. If that doesn't bother you, you'll enjoy the smooth electronic suspension, good wind protection and plenty of comfort features. However, the newly developed Tiger 1200 is (still) a little out of round in some areas, as can be seen, for example, from the stronger load change reactions and high-frequency vibrations on motorway stages.

Linear, predictable power delivery

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection

comfortable riding position

top brakes

High-frequency vibrations at certain engine speeds

rather sluggish handling

load change reactions

grips unfavourably positioned for pillion riders
