BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2012

You don't feel uncomfortable off-road with the GS, but it shouldn't be quite so rough for it either. The BMW scores the most points with its perfect ergonomics, superb brakes, tight chassis and unique boxer handling, complete with a deep, rasping soundtrack.

Successful wind protection

extremely comfortable ergonomics

optimal saddle

precise chassis

sharp sound.
