BMW R 1250 GS 2022

BMW R 1250 GS 2022

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2018

What the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 was already very good at before, the new V-Strom 1000 is also very good at: a well-balanced motorbike that does not shy away from a sporty riding style with good long-distance capability. Added to this are modern features such as ABS and Combined Brake System, which make riding even safer and faster. Suzuki takes criticism seriously, the windshield has been enlarged and, in line with the trend, the V-Strom 1000 is now also available in a slightly more off-road XT version with wire-spoke wheels, which not only increase stability but also the cool look - especially with the yellow paint. Besides all these advantages, the low price remains the absolute killer argument for the Suzuki V-Strom 1000.
