BMW F 800 GS 2008

For us, the 800 GS is not a small GS, but a GS for non-BMW fans. So in principle it combines the virtues of the 1200 without its quirks, as newcomers would say.

Low price

positive ride comfort

beginner-friendly

low weight

relatively luxurious.

Annoying background noise in the (necessary) high rev range

no optional extras of the big GS

Yamaha MT-07 2016

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and even above.

Very agile engine

very easy handling

low weight

aggressively angular look

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

extensive and easy-to-read display

Chassis a little soft

Footrests soon drag

partly cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork
