Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 GT 2012

BMW K 1600 GT 2012

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2009

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2009

In the last 30 years of its development, the GS has learned everything you need to know to remain the best-selling motorbike over 500 cubic metres for years - worldwide!
