BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2020

BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2020

The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.

Honda CRF300 Rally 2021

Honda CRF300 Rally 2021

As a classic dual-sport bike, which unfortunately is all too rare these days, the lightweight Honda works very well both on and especially off the paved roads. In contrast to its predecessor, the CRF250 Rally, it has gained about 10 percent in power, but another 10 to 15 hp would be good for it. However, because the lower gears are now shorter, you can feel the increase in power, and the longer sixth gear allows for more relaxed cruising at higher speeds.

Real off-road capability

ample suspension travel and ground clearance

low weight

agility

Low power
