Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone 2018

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
