Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 GS 2010

BMW R 1200 GS 2010

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.

Honda XL 1000 V Varadero 2009

Honda XL 1000 V Varadero 2009

Basically, the Varadero is as agile as its rider. Everyone is served fairly, and in the way they like it. Relaxed characters will also find pleasure in the English Lord style.

High speeds achievable

plenty of storage space available

relatively extensive fuel tank capacity

efficient wind protection

comfort

super dual-CBS braking system.

Easily becomes unbalanced when fully loaded and at high speed

Dual-CBS braking system counterproductive on gravel
