Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R nineT 2016

BMW R nineT 2016

With the RnineT, BMW has created a monument to itself and the boxer that has made it into many garages around the world. The R nineT is a best-seller thanks to its successful overall concept and has served numerous customisers as the basis for a wide range of conversions. Compared to a Thruxton, however, the BMW does not appear authentic in all details, and on the poor road surfaces in the Alps, the suspension may be tuned too hard or the exhaust may be too loud in the long run.

solid technology

strong brakes

unique look

rich sound

fat torque

Hard tuning for bad roads

exhaust a bit loud in the long run

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

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.
