Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger Sport 2015
The Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 is an extremely versatile bike. The ergonomics are in the sweet spot between sporty and touring and the suspension also manages this balancing act very well. The star and number one source of joy is definitely the powerful three-cylinder engine, which in this first generation of the Tiger Sport without an electronic safety net definitely demands an experienced or cautious touch on the throttle. It performs very well in all disciplines. It is in touring mode that it loses the most due to the lack of all comfort features. If you want something like this, you have to reach for Tiger Sport models from 2016 onwards.

BMW R 1200 GS 2016
A GS is at home almost anywhere - but only to a limited extent on the racetrack. It's a pleasure to feel the power of the partially water-cooled boxer twin cylinder on the exit of the bend - 125 hp only seems much weaker on paper than 150 or even 160 hp on the competition. With 125 Newton metres of torque, the acceleration from the bottom is superb anyway and the GS, at 238 kilos ready to ride, does not carry too much flab despite its bulky appearance. In very tight corners, the low centre of gravity also has a positive effect - the BMW R 1200 GS is very hard to crack! Even the front telelever suspension, which suppresses the front wheel's tendency to sink in under braking, fits perfectly into the GS's overall package and only slightly detracts from its sporty character.
