Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 XR 2016

The BMW S 1000 XR is a superbly crafted performance motorbike with a proud pedigree that shines with impeccable touring characteristics and solid touring capability. A wide range of accessories either trim the bike even more in the direction of sport or equip it for the great journey. With ABS and ASC as standard, you're always on the safe side and always relaxed thanks to the pleasant ergonomics. Just don't misunderstand the XR as an enduro for on/off-road, but see it as the evolution of a sport tourer.
BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2016

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.
