Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna FE 450 2024

The FE 450 is a great sporteduro. But with fierce competition from the other displacement variants, there is little room for the classic 450. In truth, the 350 is the better choice for most riders. And those who like to ride longer stages should go straight for the even more confident 501. The 450 does nothing wrong and is really good - but the other displacement classes offer more distinctive character traits and can thus meet the customer's taste even better.

Practical chassis setup for a wide range of uses

Great traction

Precise lines

Low vibration level in the saddle

Robust overall appearance

Very practical details

Low weight

Great ergonomics in the saddle

Plenty of room to move on the bike

High-quality chassis

Very powerful and rev-happy engine - will make sporty riders happy

Very great performance on steep slopes - good traction, surprisingly low tendency to wheelie

Plastics in the boot area quickly look very worn

prices are normally always a matter of opinion - in this case, however, the whole range seems good but expensive across the board

the recessed grip on the seat is too far forward

stand has to be folded out somewhat fiddly

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.

Powerful engine

relatively easy to ride

30 litre fuel tank
