BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% perfected in some areas, as several recalls as well as vulnerable components show.

Ducati has fully achieved its goal of building a supersport bike that is very easy to ride. With its extremely light handling, low weight and easy-to-control engine, the new V2 Panigale is a real joy to ride, especially on technically demanding tracks. The big highlights are the late braking points and the tight cornering radii, which can be maintained even at high cornering speeds. The slightly lower power almost makes up for the weight. The new V2 Panigale therefore offers a significant improvement compared to its predecessor, especially for beginners, and, contrary to the well-known saying "power is everything", will probably help inexperienced riders to achieve better lap times due to its lightness. Even for me - as a performance-accustomed superbiker - the little Panigale brings a smile to my face. Ducati has achieved many plus points, especially for use on country roads. With the new Panigale, the Italians have brought out a toned-down version with a much more comfortable riding position, clearly focussing on road suitability and beginner-friendliness. This is also emphasised by the fact that the V2 will be available in an A2 version. In conjunction with the reduced prices, the V2 Panigale is thus also entering the range for sharp computers. A Panigale for beginners, who would have thought it?
