Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2013

Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2013

The new touring enduro from Aprilia rides well, but nowhere better than a competitor. In bends, however, the damping proves to be a little too soft. The nimble appearance is somewhat deceptive - the Aprilia is a very comfortable touring bike.

Appropriate appearance

cruise control and pannier system (optimal) included.

Radical seating position

limited lean angle clearance.

BMW R 1200 GS 2012

BMW R 1200 GS 2012

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.
