BMW R 1250 RS 2025

BMW R 1250 RS 2025

For me, the BMW R 1250 RS epitomises the classic sports tourer to perfection. The seating position, the engine tuning, the suspension and the electronics - everything has been done just right. For me, the best sport touring motorcycle on the market comes from BMW.

High stability in long turns

agile, revvy boxer engine

good looks

comfortable riding position

extensive accessories list

great ESA suspension

great balance between sport and touring

good feel for the front

wide handlebars for precise control

compact but practical windscreen adjustment

good mirror position

Low position of the sat nav requires looking away from the road

Combined Braking System with ABS requires familiarisation

Cardan drive requires somewhat rougher gear changes

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi does not want to push the V100 Mandello S into the sports tourer segment and speaks of a roadster suitable for touring - and in fact it is more of a naked bike in terms of its pleasant seating position and agile handling, which conveys a surprising amount of touring character with its electrically adjustable windshield! The unique flaps are probably only noticeable at very low temperatures, but the engine perfectly matches the sovereign appearance and the brakes are brilliantly tuned. Finally, the S version pampers with a standard quickshifter including blipper, heated grips, MIA communication system, tyre pressure control and the electronically adjustable Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension. Asking for just under 20,000 euros for this may therefore only seem hefty at first glance.

Confident V2 powerplant with typical Guzzi vibrations

excellent Brembo brakes

comfortable seating position

electrically adjustable windshield

unique flaps for weather protection of the centre of the body

good handling

extensive standard equipment

electronic Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension

classy look.

Shift assistant does not work cleanly

high heat development in city mode
