Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 GS 2022

BMW R 1250 GS 2022

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.

Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 2024

Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 2024

Great two-cylinder engine with power in all situations

outstanding electronics for the class (partly at extra charge)

Quickshifter standard

good workmanship

coherent overall package

low fuel consumption

visual highlights (rear frame, exhaust)

good price-performance ratio

agile handling

precise brakes

versatile use

A little unsettled at low revs

stiff suspension and firm seat uncomfortable on long lengths

front brake a little snappy for inexperienced riders

windshield only visual, no functional wind protection

only one colour variant available
