Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 RT 2023

BMW R 1250 RT 2023

The BMW R 1250 RT simply feels superior when touring. The heavy bike sits compactly in the hand and wags nimbly through the bends. A great touring motorbike.

Great wind and weather protection

Great boxer engine

Powerful acceleration

Easy engine modulation

Well-designed controls

Great integrated luggage

High stability even at high speeds

Somewhat cumbersome when manoeuvring

gear changes at low revs a little choppy

opaque pressure point of the brakes

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro comes with a powerful in-line three-cylinder engine and plenty of features. The all-round carefree package on two wheels is easy to control, but clearly favours a more leisurely pace. If that doesn't bother you, you'll enjoy the smooth electronic suspension, good wind protection and plenty of comfort features. However, the newly developed Tiger 1200 is (still) a little out of round in some areas, as can be seen, for example, from the stronger load change reactions and high-frequency vibrations on motorway stages.

Linear, predictable power delivery

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection

comfortable riding position

top brakes

High-frequency vibrations at certain engine speeds

rather sluggish handling

load change reactions

grips unfavourably positioned for pillion riders
