BMW R 1200 GS 2018

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.

Compared to the sporty single-cylinder competition from KTM or Husqvarna, which you first have to make suitable for touring with a windshield, larger tank, etc., the Twin offers a smoother ride and thus better long-distance capability, and compared to most two-cylinder competitors, with the exception of KTM's 790 Adventure, it offers more off-road capability. In any case, the Tenere 700 has become a real enrichment for the touring enduro segment, so it was worth the wait.
