BMW R 1200 GS 2009

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

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.

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2010

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2010

All in all, depending on how you look at it, the Multistrada is the most comfortable superbike in the Alps or the sportiest touring enduro - let it be said that the price is not worth it.

Electronically adjustable suspension

traction control

ABS

4 adjustable modes

powerful engine and brakes

fun to drive.

Very expensive full equipment.
