Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 XR 2024

BMW F 900 XR 2024

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride

cool looks, great display

good brakes

easy handling

stable ride feel

great connectivity

maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

Hard seat

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

engine could use more pepper

BMW R 12 G/S 2026

BMW R 12 G/S 2026

The BMW R12 G/S is not a sensible GS, but an emotional one. It is aimed at tall, experienced riders who value character, directness and the classic boxer feeling more highly than comfort, electronics and suitability for everyday use. Those who understand and can ride it will get a bike with real charisma and rare riding pleasure - everyone else will not be happy with it.

charismatic air/oil-cooled boxer

direct, analogue riding feel

surprisingly comfortable seat

stable, sporty suspension on good roads

high-quality overall impression

independent character

high-quality mechanical overall impression

Demanding seat height

difficult manoeuvring

limited motorway capability

little wind protection

noticeable vibrations on the handlebars

noticeable load change reactions
