BMW R 1250 GS 2023

BMW R 1250 GS 2023

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

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

Vespa GTS 300 2023

Vespa GTS 300 2023

The Vespa GTS 300 has been given a facelift and a technical overhaul. The new chassis and the new brakes were convincing all along the line in the first test. The GTS still offers the incomparable Vespa style, but now mixes it with even more riding fun and comfort.

new design faithful to the original line

light, playful handling

chassis more comfortable and stable than before

Too little storage space under the seat

pillion footrests positioned too far inside

storage space under the seat is heated.
