Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2017
For over 35 years, BMW has continued to expand the boxer range and is consistently working on the evolution of the GS. In addition to the EURO4 update of the engine with new catalytic converter and mapping, there are now even more features such as the Dynamic ESA Next Generation with automatic riding position compensation, which further improves stability and comfort for the rider. With its subtle colour scheme, the Exclusive version is intended for friends of a neat and subdued appearance and, unlike the flashier Rallye variant, is designed more for the road. Many features are at extra cost, but GS customers usually don't care - 90 percent are ordered with full equipment.
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2024
With the 2024 update, the Svartpilen 401 has become significantly larger, more mature, heavier and more modern. With a lower seat height and wider dimensions, it has become more attractive for both short and tall pilots. The new TFT display is more attractive to look at and offers practical benefits. Despite the extra weight, the Svartpilen remains an agile fun bike with decent grunt from the single cylinder, a relaxed riding position and adjustable, well-functioning suspension. The only thing that spoils the riding pleasure is the weak, less powerful brakes. If the old Svartpilen was too small or too high, you should give it another chance in 2024.
