Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1300 GS 2025

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% perfected in some areas, as several recalls as well as vulnerable components show.

Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness

Very good traction

Stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly

Handguards offer good wind protection

With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Comprehensible operating concept

easy-to-read display

wide range of ergonomics customisation options

Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system

Very good balance with different load conditions

The suspension works at a good level - however, it does not offer truly flawless reponsiveness or a really wide adjustment range

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday driving

ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding

Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches in raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots

The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances with two riders

Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST 2026

The Harley-Davidson Pan America ST 2025 is a superior alternative for anyone who loves the adventure look but is at home on the road. With its cultivated V2, harmonious suspension and 17 inch sports tyres, it combines comfort and composure with sporty precision.

Cultivated V2 with 152 Horsepower

top quickshifter

well-designed geometry

extensive electronics

harmonious lean angle behaviour

comfortable seating position

stable Brembo brakes

Relatively high weight

engine less emotional than classic Harleys
