Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 GS 2010

BMW R 1200 GS 2010

A GS Adventure has practically everything you need for the big trip. But firstly, Touratech manufactures some parts for BMW anyway and secondly, it doesn't stop with the optional extras offered by the Bavarians.

Sporty look

well equipped

enough storage space

The technology of the conversion takes some getting used to

BMW F 900 XR 2023

BMW F 900 XR 2023

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride

cool looks, great display

good brakes

easy handling

stable ride feel

great connectivity

maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

Hard seat

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

engine could use more pepper
