BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2019

BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2019

The all-purpose weapon from Bavaria that can also handle ambitious off-road rides with ease. Thanks to an extra 2 centimetres of suspension travel and 10 litres more fuel in the tank, no tour is too far and no challenge too great. The comparatively low centre of gravity helps with handling and the more powerful engine brings it much closer to the normal R 1250 GS in terms of riding dynamics. In the new 1250 model generation, it offers not only the revised engine, which brings even better rideability, but also a plus in standard equipment and safety. The fiercest competitor for the Adventure is nevertheless lurking in its own house, because even the conventional, less expensive GS is already a fine all-rounder.

Great ride comfort

extreme range

good ergonomics

excellent weather protection

bulbous torque

clean response

generally good rideability due to low centre of gravity

customisation options.

High weight noticeable in the braking zone

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2024

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT PRO 2024

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro comes with a powerful in-line three-cylinder engine and plenty of features. The all-round carefree package on two wheels is easy to control, but clearly favours a more leisurely pace. If that doesn't bother you, you'll enjoy the smooth electronic suspension, good wind protection and plenty of comfort features. However, the newly developed Tiger 1200 is (still) a little out of round in some areas, as can be seen, for example, from the stronger load change reactions and high-frequency vibrations on motorway stages.

Linear, predictable power delivery

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection

comfortable riding position

top brakes

High-frequency vibrations at certain engine speeds

rather sluggish handling

load change reactions

grips unfavourably positioned for pillion riders
