Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.

BMW R 1250 RS 2023

BMW R 1250 RS 2023

For me, the BMW R 1250 RS epitomises the classic sports tourer to perfection. The seating position, the engine tuning, the suspension and the electronics - everything has been done just right. For me, the best sport touring motorcycle on the market comes from BMW.

High stability in long turns

agile, revvy boxer engine

good looks

comfortable riding position

extensive accessories list

great ESA suspension

great balance between sport and touring

good feel for the front

wide handlebars for precise control

compact but practical windscreen adjustment

good mirror position

Low position of the sat nav requires looking away from the road

Combined Braking System with ABS requires familiarisation

Cardan drive requires somewhat rougher gear changes
