Pros and Cons in comparison

Zontes 703F 2025

The Zontes 703F Adventure is a Chinese adventure bike that is not far behind the established competition in the segment. For a really competitive price, it offers a lot, some special features, solid riding performance and good touring suitability. The only thing missing is some fine-tuning in the details, such as ABS or load changes in first gear. However, small weaknesses can be forgiven - measured in terms of value per euro. There is no other 95 Horsepower adventure bike with an Inline three-cylinder engine this cheap.

Extensive standard equipment: USB ports, electric windscreen, centre stand, heated grips, dashcams and more

independent three-cylinder engine with (almost always) smooth reponsiveness

well-balanced, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension

good TFT display

high range

Unpleasant load changes in first gear

engine needs a lot of revs for sporty acceleration

front brakes need a lot of manual force for hard braking manoeuvres

not too fine ABS control behaviour

wind protection on the shoulders could be improved

BMW R 1250 GS 2023

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.
