BMW R 1200 GS 2017

For over 35 years, BMW has continued to expand the boxer range and is consistently working on the evolution of the GS. In addition to the EURO4 update of the engine with new catalytic converter and mapping, there are now even more features such as the Dynamic ESA Next Generation with automatic riding position compensation, which further improves stability and comfort for the rider. With its subtle colour scheme, the Exclusive version is intended for friends of a neat and subdued appearance and, unlike the flashier Rallye variant, is designed more for the road. Many features are at extra cost, but GS customers usually don't care - 90 percent are ordered with full equipment.

There may already be some power naked bikes that cut an excellent figure on the race track with incredibly powerful engines. But with its Öhlins chassis, the many superbike components and this incredible performance, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory is currently the best naked bike on the racetrack and therefore also arrow-quick on the country road. What is most amazing is that the respect-inspiring 175 hp and 121 Newton metres of torque behave in such an uncomplicated and easily controllable way - the Tuono Factory is not only fast but also incredibly fun!
