Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2008
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.
BMW F 850 GS 2021
The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.
