Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 GS 2011

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.

BMW S 1000 RR 2010

We have a strict and merciless order from the boss to thank for that. There are tough performance checks before the S 1000 RR leaves the factory. At BMW, they didn't want to show their hand and risk even one disappointing test bench report finding its way into the media.

Superior performance

well-functioning driving aids

very fast

optimal price.

Agility

complicated handling

braking stability

high weight.
