Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 12 G/S 2025

The BMW R12 G/S is not a sensible GS, but an emotional one. It is aimed at tall, experienced riders who value character, directness and the classic boxer feeling more highly than comfort, electronics and suitability for everyday use. Those who understand and can ride it will get a bike with real charisma and rare riding pleasure - everyone else will not be happy with it.
Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2026

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike to a touring bike with a 19-inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessible thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter suspension travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.
