Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 GT 2015

BMW K 1600 GT 2015

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology

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
